Tech Tip: Checking Your Tape Backup

Backing up your data on a daily basis is a very integral part of securing your store’s data.

You should, on a daily basis, check your tape backup routine to make sure the tape backup is running correctly.

To perform this routine check, do the following every morning:

• Open Backup Exec from your desktop or from your program files
• Click on Tools > Reports > View
• Verify that the backup completed successfully
• Replace the Backup tape with the next day’s Backup Tape
• Remove completed backup tape and take off site

Trainer Tip: Vermont Tax Law Change Effective 1/1/2007

NEW Clothing and Footwear are now tax exempt items.

There is an exception, as stated, in the 2007 Guide to
Vermont Business Taxes. It reads, “not exempt are
specialty clothing or footwear designed primarily for
athletic activity, protective use, and not normally worn
except during the athletic activity”.

If this change applies to your business, please call JDA
Support and we will help you remove the tax that is being
charged on those items at point of sale.
