Save a Backup Copy Automatically
When this option is selected, Personal Taxprep saves a backup copy of the active client file at regular intervals. If Personal Taxprep terminates unexpectedly, you can restore client files when rebooting.
Personal Taxprep’s default is to automatically save a backup copy every five minutes. To modify this option, proceed as follows:
- In the Tools menu, click Options and Settings.
- Under Options, click Tax Returns.
- In the File save options area, select the Backup active client file every: xx minutes check box then enter the frequency (in minutes) for automatic backup.
- Click OK.
Note: This backup copy does not replace the client file, but rather saves a copy of the client file in a backup file using a .tmp extension.
