Shepherd’s Staff has the ability to make a copy of only the Finance data. This allows the church’s treasurer to take a backup of the main database and update the finance module at home. The treasurer can then make another backup and restore only the Finance data to the main database. This will not override information from the Membership, Attendance, Contributions, or Scheduler modules.
After you have backed up the main database, here is how to restore Finance only:
Note: To minimize the risk of accidentally overwriting your entire Shepherd's Staff database, we recommend making a backup of your Shepherd's Staff database before restoring only the finance module.
- Close out of all modules in Shepherd’s Staff, make sure you are on the Shepherd’s Staff Central Window
- Select “Tools” at the top of the window.
- Choose Backup and Restore, and then choose “Database”.
- Check the “Restore only Finance” box.
- Select the database you want to restore by clicking the folder icon to the right of "Restore from backup file", or by selecting the backup from the "Restore from Backup History table" droplist
- Click Restore
