How to make a backup

Protect your store's information. See how to make a simple and quick backup to keep all your Nex data saved safely.

Why make a backup?

It is important to perform a backup of your data frequently (we recommend daily), as Nex uses a local database, meaning your system data is stored directly on your computer. By making a backup and saving it to an external device, you will keep your information safe if any unexpected issues occur with the computer running the software.

Let's make a backup of your system data?

1. Open the Nex Server by clicking the icon near the Windows clock in the bottom right corner of your screen, or by double-clicking the Nex Server icon on your desktop.

2. Click on Copy (Backup).

3. Choose the destination folder where your backup will be saved.

4. Click on Create Backup.

5. Wait for the process to finish, and then click on Ok when the completion message appears.

6. Remember to also store your backup on an external device (flash drive or external hard drive) or in the cloud.

Pay attention to the date the backup was created. The backup file name displays the date in reverse order: starting with the year, followed by the month, day, and finally the time.

Done! The security backup of your Nex data has been created.
