E-File Magic 2.0 includes a software feature designed to securely backup your data. You can access this feature from the ‘Database' menu, by clicking on the ‘Backup/Encrypt' database option.

In order to perform the backup, you MUST enter a password. This is required because E-File Magic will generate a backup database file that is encrypted using the NSA recommended AES algorithm. Because of this WE CANNOT HELP YOU RECOVER YOUR DATABASE IF YOU LOOSE YOUR PASSWORD! So please make sure you use a password that is easy to remember, because you will be unable to recover your data if you forget.

Once the database has been backed up, it will be located in the E-File Magic 2.0 installation directory, under the ‘Backups' folder. You can copy this file wherever you like. As long as nobody else knows your password, the information contained within the backup database should remain safe and secure.

If at some point you wish use your backup database, simple select the ‘Decrypt Backup Database' option from the ‘Database' menu and follow the onscreen directions.
