To avoid overwriting a previous backup, give the backup file a unique name or save it to a different folder. |
(Optional) To protect the backup file from unauthorized access, select Password protect file, and then click OK.
If you chose to protect the file, type and confirm a password, and then click OK.
Backing up using other software
If you use backup software to back up ACT! data, remember that an ACT! database is not a single file. You must back up all files associated with the database. You should back up all the files in the Databases folder that begin with the database name, such as databasename.adf, databasename.alf, databasename.pad.
You should also back up the supplemental files that reside in the Databases subfolders such as attachments, templates, and reports.
