Configuring Nightly Backups

The nightly backup built into Weighsoft will send an email of all Skip, Material, RMC, Hazardous and trade work for the next 4 days to the designated email address.

Once configured, the backup will commence at 10pm daily and send an email with the subject "Upcoming Jobs" with the data attached as a CSV file (NightlyJobs.csv and TradeNightlyJobs.csv respectively).

The backups can be configured by:

  1. Hover over Administration and click System Settings

  2. Click Backups

  3. Enter a semi-colon separated list of email addresses in Send To Email

  4. Enter a semi-colon separated list of email addresses in Send to Trade Email

  5. Click Save

Note: If the Send to Trade Email setting isn't completed and you use Trade, this will include Trade work with all other jobs rather than separate into its own report.

Important: Although these settings are called backups, they should be used for contingency planning only and not relied upon for system recovery. Weighsoft does not have built in full backup functionality.
