Back up to an Online Option Automatically (Cloud-based)
There are many different cloud-based services available for backing up your Boulevard data. For instructions on using one of the services listed, please visit their respective website. Due to the many variables outside of our control, Main Street Software cannot provide any support for the setup/installation of any cloud-based option except for the Google integration option.
Recommended Option:
Automatically Back up Boulevard to Google Drive
If you have a Gmail/Google account, you already have access to Google Drive (or create a Google account if you do not already have one).
Other Options:
If you would prefer to back up to a different location other than the default, follow the steps below.
Note: The default backup file location is under Documents, inside the Boulevard folder. If you choose to sync to a cloud-based option that allows you to include the Documents folder, ensure it also syncs subfolders so that the Boulevard folder is also included.
- From the Edit menu, select Preferences, then click on the Backup tab.
- Under the Automatic section, select Prompt back up on exit, then enter the number of Files to Keep before the oldest backup file is overwritten.
- To specify where the backup files will be saved, select Other.
- In the location field, click … and navigate to where you want the backups to be saved, then click OK .
- Click
OK to save and close.
