NTS Support

The Specific Date Range Backup feature is typically used when the user wishes to share Donations posted on their computer for a specific date with a second computer WITHOUT replacing all of the other Donation information on the second computer.

Example: The Offering Counting team record Donations at the Church each week and then make a Specific Date Range Backup for that date, then the Treasurer RESTORES from that Backup at their home computer. The Treasurer's computer is the Primary computer used for church accounting and it contains the MASTER data set.
