Auto Backup

The Truckers Helper program backups your data to your hard drive once a day if you have the Auto Backup turned on in the Program Options. The Auto Backup can be used to restore your data if you make an error and delete necessary data, or if your database becomes corrupt due to a power failure. The Auto Backup should NOT BE used as a substitute for a regular backup. If your hard drive fails, this backup will be lost along with the rest of your data.  For maximum security for your data see BACKUP SERVICE.
