Backing Up To Memory Stick

A memory stick is a device that plugs into a USB port on your computer and allows you to easily back up data.
Because of their portability, many clients are now choosing to back up this way.
There are only two things you need to know prior to setting Ace Payroll to back up to your memory stick.

Find out which drive letter is allocated to the memory stick.
On most computers, when you insert the memory stick a screen appears that shows you the drive letter - commonly E:\ or F:\
If this screen doesn't appear, going into My Computer on your desktop will also show you what drive letter your memory stick is, as shown below.

Once you know this, go to Backup Data Files in Ace Payroll.
Click Setup then use the drive selector to choose the drive letter your memory stick is assigned to.
Ace Payroll remembers this setting and defaults to backing up to your memory stick from now on.
