How often is the database backed up and where is the automatic back up saved?

Every day the software is opened and closed down a message will appear asking whether to back up the database now or later. Eventually the backup process will be mandatory if the delay option is chosen over several days. The automatic backups are stored in the C:\MedProducts Backup\ folder on the same hard drive as where the software is installed. An additional backup location may be configured within the software under the Tools menu, MSA Settings. Options tab
