Overview
If your accounting package fails to upload or you have an accounting package that requires you to send a full backup of your accounting data, you can send a backup copy through the Validis engagement.
Before submitting the backup file, make sure that the file size does not exceed the file size limit of 1.5GB. If the backup file is over the 1.5GB limit, compress the file and submit the compressed file.
