Is it possible to email sage backups to a client reguarly? Ive tried tonight attaching backups from a pen drive and it just wont attach or send. Currently book-keeping for a client who is re -locating but still wants me to continue, if I cannot email backups monthly I cannot continue,
Any thoughts

Oh dear
@Darren - the only thing I can say is that Sage hasn't convinced you of the benefits in such a way that you can 'sell' that to the client. But then in all truth I'm not surprised. Sage Online is...ummm...Sage Offline only with a bit of online goodness thrown in. It's not that great a product and when they told me about it last year it was as much as I could do not to burst out laughing. Trying to convince me that something is better, simply because it has gone online is the intellectual equivalent treating me like a village idiot.
If you're not already starting to see them, there are some very compelling online systems out there. Check this one in which I have a very tiny stake. It is a proxy for what the future holds.
The Future has to be Online.....
I have to agree with Dennis..... The future has to be with online accounting..... Watch this space!!
Yes, it's possible
You haven't said which sage product you are using but if it is any of the Sage 50 range then the built in backup routine uses pkzip compression and so the size of the file should be small enough to email.
Once you've made the backup file it should then be a case of just attaching it to the email as you would for any other type of file.
At the risk of being daft
I regularly send backups to and from a client. I back up into my documents and then attach the backup from there when doing the e-mail. When receiving the backup, I right click on the attachment and save it from the e-mail into my docs and then restore it from there.
Probably hopelessly inefficient - I don't understand how computers work, but this works.
Hate to say this...
It's such a daft idea doing things this way when online solutions offer a direct way to interact with clients in real time. I won't pretend we've got all the bases 100% covered but check FreeAgent for an alternative view.
I really appreciate this wonderful post that you have provided for us. I assure this would be beneficial for most of the people. Looking forward to read more of your post and updates in the future.
Nice post! thank you.
