Resolution

Note:  As saving backups directly to external media can damage your files, it is recommended to save the backup to the HARD DRIVE first, and then follow the steps below.

  1. If you saved your backup to the default location of your company folder, browse to you company data location.
  2. Right-click the backup file and select Copy (or select Cut).
  3. Open My Computer or Computer.
  4. Open your removable media (CD or flash drive, etc.).
  5. On the keyboard, press CTRL + V to paste the file.
  6. If saving to a CD, finalize the disk.

Note: The CD-R/CD-RW must be configured for read write access from Windows programs. You must be able to drag files onto the disk icon and have the system then burn the CD without running the software that came with the drive.
