Restoring a backed up data file

If we need to restore a data file does it have to be a file backed up in MYOB or can a back up of the file created by a proprietary program e.g. ACRONIS be successfully restored.

    Hi APCDon 

     

    A backup initiated by MYOB simply zips the MYOB company file. Restore reverses the process. Provided the company file is local (not on MYOB's servers), you can schedule a system backup using any backup software such as Acronis. You would need to restore the file with the same software before it can be opened in MYOB.
