How to open backup from USB

Hi again,

This tutorial is about opening up a backup from a USB.

Lets get started.

open you simply program to Sage 50 screen.

Select Restore from backup and click OK.

Click Next.

Your at Select Backup File screen

Click on Browse and open the USB drive.

I keep all my backups under Sage 50 Backups.

when I open Sage 50 Backups Folder I can pick from any backups and restore it.

I choose April 26 2017 Backup1.CAB

Make sure the extension is a .CAB which is a cabinet file.

Your screen should look like this. With your backup file populated and you can click on Next.

Click Next again.

This screen wants you to give a destination for the backup to be restored.

Click on Brows or type in the destination.

Make sure you make a note of where the destination will be.

My destination is C:\Sage\Sage 50 Data\CERTIFIEDWIRE.SAI

click Next.

Click on Finish.

You have restored your backup and Sage 50 should automatically open.

At the top blue bar you can confirm the file name you choose.

Hope this helped.

If you have any other questions please drop me a note.

Come back for more tutorials.

If your in purchases and the “Pay Later” method will not remain on the screen try two steps.

Go to Vendors and under Options tab check the vendor is set as pay later. See below.

If this is set up ok, check the system is set up correctly.

Drop down the Setup menu on home page – Settings – Company – System.

“Cash Basis Accounting ” should be un-checked.

Hope one of these two methods will help.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
