BACKING UP

Backing up your Budget data is an important (CRITICAL) part of the entire budgeting process. Anything that is not backed up may be lost. Backup Procedures: Quit the PowerBudget program. Open the PowerBudget folder on your hard disk. The file that is critical to backup is the PowerBudget.data file. Day 1) Click once on the PowerBudget.data file. Day 1) From the FILE menu, choose the Duplicate option. This will create a copy of the PowerBudget.data file. The new file will be named PowerBudget.data copy. Day 2) Click once on the PowerBudget.data file. Day 2) From the FILE menu, choose the Duplicate option. This will create a copy of the PowerBudget.data file. The new file will be called PowerBudget.data copy 2. You now have 3 PowerBudget data files on your hard disk. PowerBudget.data, PowerBudget.data copy, and PowerBudget.data copy 2. These files will be rotated as follows: Day 3) Drag the PowerBudget.data copy file into the trash can. (DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, DRAG THE ORIGINAL POWERBUDGET.DATA FILE INTO THE TRASH CAN.) Day 3) Click once on the PowerBudget.data file and duplicate it... this will create a new PowerBudget.data copy file. Day 4) Drag the PowerBudget.data copy 2 file into the trash can. Day 4) Click once on the PowerBudget.data file and duplicate it... this will create a new PowerBudget.data copy 2 file. TO BACK UP TO FLOPPY: Drag the PowerBudget.data file to the floppy. If too large for the floppy, use file compression software, like Norton Disk Doubler to compress the PowerBudget.data file and drag the compressed file to the floppy.
