Backup and Restore Company Data in TallyPrime Server

It is recommended that you take a regular backup of your company data to safeguard against any form of data loss. This way you can be prepared for any adverse event, such as a virus attack, a hard drive crash, and so on. Using TallyPrime, you can easily take a backup of your company data and restore it whenever needed.

You can also use the backup feature to move your data to another computer, or share it with your accountant or auditor for verification. Sharing the backup of the data is a much more reliable method than directly copying the company data folders.

It is recommended that you back up your data in a location that is separate from the original, for example, a different drive on the computer, a pen drive, a hard disk, and so on. You can even store this data on a cloud location and access it easily.
