Backup Restore Tally Company

For the first process, we don’t need to open the Tally software. You should know that whenever a new company is created, tally creates a separate folder for the company and store all data related to that company in it. In Tally.ERP9 the data folder is named as 10000, 10001, 10002 and so on. The data folder is normally located in the main tally folder in one of your computer hard disk drive. To locate the data folder location of tally in your computer, open Tally, go to Company Info Menu-Select Company and see the directory path of your data folder at the top. See the image below.

 So, you can go to the data folder location and copy all the company folder and stored it in another location. You can also carry these company folders and paste it to data folder of another computer where tally installed. However, in new computer there may have the same folder, so you can rename each folder to different serial number between 10000 to 99999. Don’t try any other serial number or name while rename.

For the second process, open Tally, go to the Company Info Menu-Select Company and check how many companies are there. Here we have two companies- “NasirTech” and “Unique Systems” and the location of data folder is C:\Tally.ERP9\Data, as you can see in the above image. You can backup a single company or backup multiple company at a time. To backup both the companies, go to Company Info Menu-Backup. In Backup screen Source= Location of the Data folder and Destination= Location of the Backup Folder (Type C:\Tally Backup in Destination field). Select both the companies and Yes the confirmation message. Tally will create a folder named Tally Backup in C:\ Drive and store the backup file in it.

 Now, Quit Tally and go to C:\Tally Backup and check the backup file. You’ll find a TBK900.001file, this file contains both the company folder. You can take it with you in CD or Pen Drive or Email and restore in Tally to get both the companies. Now, open Tally and delete both the companies. Go to Company Info Menu-Restore and type Source and Destination path as seen in the image. You can restore both the companies or select a single company to restore.
