In the Multi-Company Backup window:

• Tick the Send backup to Practical Systems Data Warehouse check box.
• In the Options box, tick Include documents if you wish to include any documents attached to transactions in the backup). This can potentially increase the size of the backup file, depending on how many documents you have attached to transactions.
• Tick the check box next to the company name and all years will automatically be ticked as selected.
• Tick the check box next to each year you wish to include in the backup. If there is not a tick next to a year, it will not be in the backup.
