Multi-user? Is it possible for two users to work on Sage at the same time?

Question

This might be a stupid post but I can't find the definitive answer online... 
 My colleague and I both need access to Sage. If I need to access Sage, he will backup and and I will restore using his backup. I'll then make changes and he can't do any work until I've backed up again, for him to then restore. 
 We use Sage50 cloud accounts. 
 Is there any way we can both use Sage at the same time?

Provided you have a multi-user license then you can both be logged on at the same time, however the data will need to be stored in a shared location rather than backing up and restoring data. If you are both on the same network this should be as simple as restoring the data to a shared PC and you can both connect to that data concurrently ( https://gb-kb.sage.com/portal/app/portlets/results/viewsolution.jsp?solutionid=200427112400050 ). If you are not both connected to the same network then you would need to enable Remote Data Access ( https://gb-kb.sage.com/portal/app/portlets/results/viewsolution.jsp?solutionid=200821075636890 ) 
 Hope that helps
