Backup after the recent update

Question

Hi, 
 After the recent update my backups take very long and doing this for multiple clients can be time consuming, I believe this is due to the backup performing a back up of everything. 
 I cant seem to remember what from the list below what was unselected prior to the update, but the backups before where a lot faster and had everything important backed up in the event of a rollback. 
 Please let me know from the list below what I don't necessarily need (or anything not important) for a backup: 
 
 Default files 
 Data files 
 RTI files 
 Pension data files 
 Picture files 
 Report files 
 Template files 
 Document files 
 JRS Files 
 Online service files 
 Employment verification files 
 
 Note that I am using the desktop version of payroll. 
 
 Thanks

Hi, 
 Thanks for using Community Hub 
 The default backup files are: Data files, RTI data, Pension data, Document files, JRS Files, Online services files, employment verification files. I'd advise using these and deselect the others. 
 For a bit more detail, the most often used ones are: 
 
 Data Files (this is the PAYDATA folder containing the database for the company, i.e. all employee data, company details, processing history etc) 
 RTI Files (submission data including the actual FPS/EPS submission data and the submission log data) 
 Pension Data Files (if you use send pension data this logs what's sent and your settings) 
 
 If you store documents for the company or employees in payroll it's a good idea to back these up too. 
 If you have any custom reports it's best to back these up routinely, for example monthly.
