“Regular” is determined by the volume of Work Orders, Invoices, and customer data that you are willing to re-type into your computer should you have to restore from the backup copy of FrameReady.
Many easy methods are available, which allow you to feel secure that your data is available in the unfortunate circumstance that you have a disaster.
Tip: Be safe, not sorry!
Use several backups and alternate between them.
After many years of hearing stories from FrameReady clients, we cannot emphasize strongly enough the need to get into the habit of making daily back ups.
If you do not have a USB Flash drive or CD-RW drive, you can back up your files to another drive on the same computer or another computer in the office. However, should something happen to your computer, both the current and backup copies of FrameReady would be lost.
Close FrameReady before doing your back up.
If FrameReady is running while you do your back up, then the files will not be saved properly.
Yes, provided that it is a backup copy--and not your live program.
Do not move your live FrameReady program into such folders; the syncing features of Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and others are dangerous to the FrameReady files. When you are using FrameReady, those files are open and subject to many changes as you use the program. Keep FrameReady installed in its default location. To make a backup, exit out of the software and then you can safely make a copy of the closed files and paste them into Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive.
Windows: C:\Users\[Account name]\FrameReady 11
mac OS: Macintosh HD\Users\[Account name]\FrameReady 11
Go to the Main Menu.
From the top menu bar, click Help > About this file...
In the File Info dialog box, note the File path.
Do not move FrameReady into a Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive folder; your data can become corrupted, or lost, because of sync processes trying to access an open file.
