Apteryx does not retain a built-in backup solution. Backing up your software must be done with third party tools, or by copying the data to an external hard-drive periodically. If you are unfamiliar with these processes, please ensure this is completed by a knowledgeable I.T. professional.
Using live backup software like OneDrive may interfere with software usability, and can lead to instability, crashing, or data loss.
Begin by locating the software you are using on the computer. Guides for each respective software can be clicked below to expand.
