Backing up CostGuard

CostGuard has a backup utility located within the program.  You can use this to backup your data and your system files.  If possible, backup the data to an external disc or jump drive.  Try to backup your data on a regular basis.  You should backup the System data a couple of times a year.

If something happens to your data, you can restore it.  Click here for more information.

You can only backup one at a time.  Once you backup the data, you can return and backup the system files.

This box will show all of your units including the SAMP file.  Check the units that you want to backup.
