Manually backing up your software before a ‘major change’ or ‘update’ is highly recommended as it allows you to recover lost information if you run into problems. This guide will take you through the steps needed to backup your software data.
1 – First you will need to locate the software icon on your desktop (it will most likely look like one of the two icons highlighted below);
2 – Next, ‘right click’ on the icon and choose the ‘Open file location’ option from the list;
4 – Next you want to click on "RPS Limited".
5 – Now you want to right click on "RoofWright" or "UDesign" and click "Send to" then "Compressed folder" as shown below
6 – Once finished, rename the ‘.zip’ file to include
- the word ‘Backup’
- and, the ‘the date it was zipped’
This .zip file is an exact duplicate of the software up until this date.
You can now update or modify the software knowing that you can retrieve any files that may get lost or broken, or even fully ‘roll-back’ to the previous setup.
