backup copies
Backup copies in Easy InvoiceIn Easy Invoice there is the function to create a backup copy and import it again. This can be found in the menu bar at the top. A ZIP file containing all the data is then created from the data directory. This function can be used to create regular backups. Backup copies can be imported back into the software using the same function.
Where is the data stored?
The backup copy that is created via Easy Invoice makes a ZIP file out of the directory where the data is saved ( %APPDATA%\EasyInvoice\ ). This always includes all data so that you can delete older backup copies. This applies to standard installations. If you have switched the software to "portable mode" in the settings, for example to operate it on a USB stick, an external hard drive or similar, then the data is all saved in the application directory.
Recommendation for backup copies
1. I always advise keeping more than one backup copy. If a copy is then illegible for any reason, you still have a replacement - e.g. always the last 14 days. In the event of a recovery, you can also restore an older version and look something up.
2. You should never keep the backup copy on the same hard drive as the software. If the hard disk breaks (hardware damage), the copy is no longer readable. Please note that another partition does not necessarily count as "another disk". Depending on the size of the backup copy, you can also store it on an external hard drive, a USB stick or a DVD / Blueray.
3. If you don't want to think about the backups yourself and want to carry them out, we recommend using additional software. The free software "Cobian Backup" can take over this task. If it can also cost something, I recommend Acronis as a software solution, which you can get for several computers for around 30 euros on eBay. This software runs very stable and offers many configuration options.
