Sharing data using the Cloud
- Make a Contributions, Checkbook or All-Data Backup choosing the Cloud location on the computer that will be SENDING the data.
- Restore the data on the computer that will be RECEIVING the data from
the first computer choosing the Cloud location.
NOTE: It is VERY IMPORTANT to verify that the Backup Date, Date Range and # of records of the data being Restored is MORE UPDATED than the data that is currently on the computer, otherwise data loss may occur.
NOTES: When Restoring data, ALL of the current data for the selected
YEAR and Category (Contributions or Checkbook) on this computer is REPLACED by the selected Backup file data.
ie. if Restoring 2023 Contributions, the 2023 data
is completely deleted and then replaced with the data from the 2023 Contributions Backup file.
EXCEPTION: If the Contributions Specific Data Range ONLY option is selected, then ONLY the data within the Date Range
is replaced.
The ALL DATA option will REPLACE all NTS data files with those from the specified Backup file. This includes Contributions, Checkbook, Payroll, Check Schedule, Loans and many other user settings. This feature is often used when recovering from complete data loss or when installing NTS on a new computer. Using the ALL DATA backup option to keep two computers in sync with each other is NOT recommended if the user will be modifying data on both computers.
