Your Sage 50 data is at the heart of your business. Taking a little time to maintain it can help improve performance, keep your records accurate, and protect important financial information.
Here are a few simple maintenance tasks we recommend:
- Reboot your PC: Regularly rebooting the PC acting as Sage 50’s server clears temporary caches and memory. This can prevent slow performance and errors from affecting the program.
- Schedule backups: Company backups are a crucial part of data security. Storing backups in a separate location like an external hard drive or cloud storage can keep your data safe in the event of hardware failure.
- Schedule automatic backups for your company databases with these steps.
- Run Data Verification: Data Verification is a utility that verifies if any data files are missing or damaged, making corrections where possible to ensure the integrity of your data.
- For more information on Data Verification, read our knowledgebase article.
- Purge data: Purging is the process of removing inactive records from a company database. Purging reduces the file size of a company and frees valuable disk space for current and active data.
- For detailed information on using the Purge Wizard, read our Help Topic.
By building these practices into your routine, you can keep your Sage 50 program running smoothly.
