TimeIPS
FOR YOUR PROTECTION, SECURITY AND BUSINESS OPERATING
EFFICIENCY, WE
STRONGLY RECOMMEND REGULAR AND FREQUENT
DATA BACKUP
.
TimeIPS will store important personnel management data and it's critical for this
data to be backed up regularly. We recommend daily backups.
Local Backups
TimeIPS can generate local backups at any time. You may choose to save these as
an archive on your local machine, or have them emailed to a specified email
address. We recommend you use our off-site backup option in addition to local
backups for the highest data security.
To access local backups, click on “Backups” in the “System Administration” section
of the “Administration” Menu.
Off-Site Backups
The best way to protect the TimeIPS data is to use an automatic, off-site backup
system. A loss of just a few days of data can take hours or days of work to re-enter
and re-create.
The TimeIPS off-site backup service is designed for businesses looking for
password-protected, automatic off-site backups at an affordable price. Utilizing our
off-site backup service will allow a TimeIPS server to be rebuilt using the data from
the last available backup file on our secure servers in the unlikely event of system
malfunction, data corruption or loss. A backup will get your business back up and
running as quickly as possible.
To use the TimeIPS off-site backup service, you must have a backup account. Use
our “Account Management” page to sign up for your backup account, check your
backup account status, or upgrade your backup account. You may access this page
by clicking the link “TimeIPS Off-site Backup Account Management” located in the
“Off-site Backup” section of the “Backups” page. The “Backups” page is accessible
from the “System Administration” section of the “Administration” menu.
Note:
The data stored in TimeIPS (and the resulting size of backups) grows as a result of
additional clock events, edits and payroll calculations added each day.
