Tip
of the Month: Using Backup Options
|
|
|
|
Are
your claims backed up? Make sure your internal backup settings
are properly configured by going to the "Tools" menu
and clicking on "Preferences," then selecting "Backup
Options" from the list on the left.
To
set the frequency you wish PowerClaim XML to back up your files,
click the "Run Backup on Shutdown" checkbox. Once you
have set the frequency, uncheck the box and PowerClaim will back
up on the schedule you set. You can choose where you want PowerClaim
XML to save your files.
Under
"Purge Settings," you can select how often you wish
PowerClaim XML to remove old backups in order to save space on
your hard drive.
