peachtree-software peachtree complete accounting 7.0 Quick Setup Guide

If you are the first person in your company to work with this tutorial, then you 
have the honor of backing up the sample company data. This step is 
important because we are going to be entering information and posting 
transactions. Others in your office will need a clean copy of the sample data 
so they can enter the same information and encounter the same conditions. 

If you are not the first person to run through this tutorial, you can read this 
section to understand the procedure, then proceed to the next section, 
“Restoring the Sample Company Data.”

From the File menu, select Back Up. The Back Up Company window 
appears.

Click the Back Up Now button.

In the Save Backup window, specify the path and file name for your backup 
copy. For example, SAMPLE.ptb.

Click the Save button. Peachtree displays the estimated size of your backup.

Click OK. The system displays the progress of the backup until it is 
complete.

For more information on backing up data, refer to the “Company 
Administration” chapter of the User’s Guide.

If you are not the first person to use this tutorial, you must restore the sample 
company data to its original state. Open the company you want to restore.

From the File menu, select Restore.

Select the backup of the sample company data. (SAMPLE.ptb.)

Click the Open button to begin the restore process. The system displays the 
progress of the restore procedure.

You will first receive a warning message that you are about to overwrite 
existing data. Select OK to continue.
