Setting Up Dropbox Backups
We always recommend customers to maintain backup of their data in EnigmaERP. The database backup is downloaded in the form of an SQL file. If needed, this SQL file of backup can be restored in the another EnigmaERP account as well.
You can automate database backup download of your EnigmaERP account into your Dropbox account.
