Local backup

Follow
Your data is automatically backed up in Uniconta, which is located in the cloud. But you can store a local backup on your own drive at the same time.

How to make a local backup

  • Open Tools/Localbackup.
  • Set Field delimiter: This is the character that separates data field by field in the file that is output and saved as local backup. It is recommended to use a semicolon as commas are already included in amounts.
  • Click the Local backup button in the ribbon to start the backup.
  • Select the destination for the backup. You can choose from all the destinations linked to your computer: locally on your PC (not recommended), server, external disk/USB, OneDrive, Dropbox etc.
  • Specify a file name for the backup. For example, BackupUniconta"date". This allows you to manage your backups by date. The next time you make a local backup, Uniconta will remember which drive and connector you used last time. If you use external disk/USB, it is recommended to switch between 2 or more in case one of them fails.
  • Click Local backup to start the backup:
The backup is output in a compressed zip file consisting of CSV files with all company data. The backup is loaded with the current accounting data. If you have multiple accounts in Uniconta, you need to run a backup in each account. In this case, it is recommended that you save the backups in different folders, one for each company, so you don't get them mixed up. If you want to read physical attachments, you can do so from Finance/Reports/Physical attachments.
