We use PFW 5.4 (used to use 5.2) and the backups are really easy. Make sure no one is in the application then just backup the data directories (the company folders.) We use a simple robocopy and have so for something like 10 years. We restore VERY often due to needing to change some entry from the previous month and its literally just a file replacement as long as no one is in the application.

Anyone familiar with Platinum for Windows ver. 5.2? Any version for that matter. I think the last time I worked with Platinum it was like version 3.x. I seem to remember a tool I used to make easy backups of the databases, but that was Microsoft SQL based on NT 4.0. This version uses Pervasive, and I cant find anything in the documentation on backup and restore procedures. I find instructions on how to do a repair, but not a backup. Of course there isnt a support contract in place anymore. The product is like 4 years old. I could call Sage, but theyll want $225 just to tell me something that I think should be in the paper documentation. .. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
