Terry,
Tell me more about the Internet backup service. This sound like the =
"cats meow". Are you paying additionally for this service or is this =
included with your internet provider?

  Or, you can go one step further and increase your security 1,000-fold. =
Backup daily to an internet backup service. No MS Explorer, no floppy =
disks, no tapes, no clicking all over the place. I don't bother at all =
with the PTBiz backup "feature". I simply have designated a =
couple-hundred megs of data (includes all PTBiz files) that I back up =
daily. Two clicks and it usually takes only 2 to 5 minutes for the =
backup to run. This way you are protected from computer malfunction, =
theft, fire, flood, hurricane, tornado, most acts of war, etc. Just make =
sure your backup service is in another state. I back up to somewhere in =
an underground bunker outside of Pittsburg - they claim it will survive =
a nuclear attack (former military facility)!

    Tom,
    I'll add to what Greg wrote about the backing up of PTBiz files. I =
too was a bit confused on procedure. Actually you can thank (smirk...) =
the author for not completing the necessary program keystrokes for =
making this a one keystroke procedure.
    After it asks you whether you want to or not make a backup, if you =
say yes, it will prompt to another screen saying that the backup has =
been completed. However it really isn't.
    From that point you have to go to Windows Explorer ( =
shortcut...press the Microsoft icon key on your keyboard along with the =
E key).
    In Windows Explorer hit the C: icon, and the +next to it. Then =
scroll down to Program Files. Again hit the + icon next to Program =
Files, then scroll down to the PTBiz file. Click on PTBiz then on the =
right side of the screen you'll see the date in which you last backed =
up, along with a 7-8 digit number. That's your backup.
    Now you have to copy that file ( top of page in Edit), then go to =
the File column (far left) and go to SEND TO. Press SEND TO and =
determine which drive you want to save the backup in. My A drive is the =
floppy drive, so I send it to a: drive. You'll then see it the =
information being transferred over to the disk drive. Done.
    Again, make sure you take the time to THANK (@#?$) the author for =
this programming shortcoming. He wonders why more of his programs never =
sold. Well, it's for reasons like this that makes the program laborious =
to use.

      Can someone tell me how to back up the "ptbiz" files? =20
      I`ve had the program for a couple months now and am getting =
nervous about not having a backed up version of my files.  I`ve tried =
signing up with the yahoo group but there is a glich going on with that =
and haven`t been able to get in ( I think that may have something to do =
with the fact I don`t elect to have their title bar istalled on my =
windows).=20
      thanks in advance,
      sincerely,
      Tom Carpenter
