I have almost completed filing all my clients FY25 taxes on either Pro or Basic (my Primary) license.

I would like to create a copy on a separate computer as a backup. I already have Pro Series Basic and Pro installed on the second computer but have not populated the client information.

Which files from the original computer do i need to copy over to the backup computer?

I have backups of all completed returns stored in PDF on a secured external drive.

Thanks.

Use the BackUp/Restore feature under Client File Maintenance.

Open the program on the first computer, go to a regular Homebase View, (not the EFCenter) highlight all clients, Click File > Client File Maintenance> Copy/BackUp and save them all to a flash drive.

On the second computer, open the program, click File > Client File Maintenance> Restore and choose the USB drive with the flashdrive in it.
