Just copy the main data file.
I copy it from my iMac to my Linux laptop for a backup and to a
Windows 10 laptop for a backup to my Linux laptop.
Any reports you create will require copying a different file though.
Just a suggestion from somebody who went through recovery after a house
fire << we did have data recovery coverage and ONE of the drives of ONE
of the computers was not too smoke damaged for the recovery lab to get
the data from that one; the rest, no dice. And if we had not had that
rider on our policy, the cost would have been prohibitive >>
Maybe not every time, but once in a while, maybe monthly, make a copy of
the data on your machines to either ROM medium or an external drive that
will reside elsewhere (not in the same building). Ours (now) goes onto a
drive that lives in a fire safe in the barn, only at risk of "same
building" when brought into the house to make the backup. Of course you
COULD use a "cloud server" but I do not care to allow third party access
to my data.
If you are a business, your accountant SHOULD be telling you to do this
as "standard procedure" for a business.
