Backing up your data is simple.

Open the Data and Activation Tools. (From your Windows Start button, select All Programs, scroll to the Avontus Quantify folder & click on it to open. Then select Data and Activation Tools.)

Click on the Database Backup/Restore tab and the Backup… button.

If you’d like to change the location that the backup file is saved to, click the Browse button. Otherwise, click OK.

Remember that it’s a good practice to save a copy of your data on another computer.
