Backing Up Your HomeBase Data

Abebooks HomeBase has a backup feature so that if your data is lost it can be recovered. When you close HomeBase you are automatically prompted to back up your data; however, if you wish to you can perform a backup while in HomeBase.  The procedures are the same regardless of how the back up function is initiated.

To perform a HomeBase backup:

1. Click [Backup] in the File menu. The Backup HomeBase Data to dialog box is displayed.
2. HomeBase 2.3 automatically generates a backup name and places the file in the backup folder of HomeBase 2.3. If you wish, you can select a different file name or file location. Click the [Save] button.
3. A progress screen displays the state of the backup. When the backup is complete, the Backup Data dialog box is displayed. Click the [OK] button.

Note:

• If your data becomes lost or corrupted, your backup files are available for you to recover.
