hi subhabra! you can also enable auto-back up in the company info Alter screen.

from Gateway of Tally > Alt+F3 > Alter > (select company you wish to alter from drop-down menu) > (in the company alteration screen set YES to) Enable Auto Backup

this way a back will be taken automatically by Tally ERP 9 itself (on a daily basis in your company data folder) without any manual intervention and will be done in the background. You can have peace of mind and wont get disturbed. the auto backup file reference is 'ABK.900' (ABK = Auto Backup). this file will be in your company folder as I mentioned above.

When you want to restore this file then from Gateway of Tally press Cntrl + Alt + K to display the 'Restore Company on Disk' screen. Select the Source (which is the company data folder path in which your auto backup files are). Select the Name of the Company and the file version (dates on which auto backup taken - obviously you will choose the most recent date). Auto backup takes backup on daily basis and a maximum of 60 days backup is available for a company file. Now Press Enter and Tally will ask you to overwrite existing company data, accept this by pressing Yes. Then use Alt+F1 to shut the existing company. After this open the restored company in Tally.
