Back up AIMsi

When and why you should complete backups

Important! Tri-Tech strongly recommends backing up your AIMsi system daily.

AIMsi contains invaluable information, the loss of which will create a hardship for your business and it is imperative you back up AIMsi daily. We recommend that you keep your backup media offsite to prevent against fire or other unexpected damage or loss of your backups.

We also recommend that you test the backups on a weekly basis to verify the media is still good and the backups are actually working.

How to back up your software

Back up the entire AIMsi folder on the server where AIMsi was installed (Install the server copy of AIMsi); be sure to include all of the subfolders. If you are unsure what backing up entails or the media to use, contact your local computer consultant for assistance.

ALWAYS make sure AIMsi is closed on ALL workstations before you begin a system backup.
