Whenever a new period created in MoneyWorks, usually after the month end process, it creates an archive file and store it in the Archive folder.

As an administrator, you have to ensure all users have disconnected at day end. MoneyWorks will not create a backup file if there are users connected to the company file. The weekly backup cycle will continue, the old backup file will get overwritten on the following week. There will be a daily backup, from Monday to Sunday, once you saved or disconnected from the company file. Since this is the second backup of the day, MoneyWorks overwritten the earlier file. So, Wednesday’s backup file name will be “Acme Widgets Gold.mwd7.3.mwgz”.Īfter your lunch, you connected to the company file again and disconnected after work. The “2” in the above backup file name is representing Tuesday.

When a user has disconnected from the company file, Moneyworks saved the session and a backup file is created. MoneyWorks Administrator Guide, page 8.Īssuming you are the only user accessing the company file on Tuesday morning, you disconnected during lunch time. Week-old backups will therefore get overwritten. Otherwise backups go into the backups folder and are stamped with the day of week (1-7). If a new period has been opened, then the backup goes into the Archives folder and is dated so that it will not get overwritten. If checked, documents will get automatically backed up on any day that they are used (on first save or when they close*). You need to set the MoneyWorks Datacentre as a user who has the privileges to access the networks drive if you prefer to backup over the network. The backup and archive path, by default, are set to point to local drive. The backup and archive path are both set in the MoneyWorks Datacentre Console. MoneyWorks Datacentre does auto backup the company file (data file).
