Question: Mike, we own Sage 100 ERP (formerly Sage MAS90). How do we make a backup of our Sage 100 ERP company Data?
Answer: Many times, customers need to make Sage 100 ERP backup copies for training purposes, making a copy before year-end close of payroll, or for other reasons.
First step:
Go to Sage 100 ERP Library Master>Main>Company Maintenance and type the three digit Company Code, add a Company Name and then Accept.
Second step:
Bring up the company that was just created in company maintenance, click the copy button on the far right.
Select the source company from which you want to copy, select the modules you want to copy, and then click Proceed.
After this is complete you will have a full backup company.
