Hi all,
I recently restored a backup of my company post an issue with my accounts where my accountant was trying to change the financial year. I am using Sage instant 2011 v17 but he was using v18 (2012 I guess). Anyway the backup he sent me back post date change would not install due to the differing versions and had to restore my most recent backup. Prior to this my backups were approx 720KB. Since the restore my backups are now 8MB+ Anyone any ideas? It now takes quite a bit of time to do the backup...as you would expect.
thanks in advance
Al

Re: Backup now huge
I suspect that "remnants" of the V18 backup were left behind, this could include other peoples vat returns and all sorts of stuff, if your accountant is not following best practice.
I would create a new directory and do a clean restore.
However if you have done work since (and it sounds like you have) then it is a bit late.
You could have a look and see what files are there and delete the ones you don't need, but there is a big risk you might delete something you did not intend to delete. In terms of backups 8MB is small, I have clients with backups of over 300MB
