• The next screen contains General Preferences.  You can return here at any time to make changes and additions, but for now you should confirm the Starting Batch Number and Starting Invoice Number before entering any new Batches, usually #1 works best.

1. If you are going to be entering Batch data right away its advisable to turn on auto-backups. Click on the Backup/Restore tab. Then click on the Backup Preferences button.

2. At the Scheduler tab, select the backup frequency you wish. Then skip over the Configuration tab and click Backup & Restore.

   

3. Choose the number of backup files you want to keep, you are not limited and you should base it on how often you backup. Keep in mind that more backups increase the CellarMetrics file size.  One week of backup should be sufficient for most needs. Leave all other settings as they are and click OK to accept.
