Step #3 Submit Your Data for Migration
How to Submit Your Data
If we host your data through Remote Solutions:
The Onboarding Team will pull your back up the morning of the scheduled transition.
If your software is locally installed, Follow These Backup Instructions;
- Open ParishSOFT Family Directory.
- Login in as a parish administrator.
- Click the File menu.
- Click on Backup Database.
- In the Database Backup and Scheduler Screen, place a check beside the current day of the week. Note: There does not need to be a time.
- Place a check in the box in under FTP for the current day of the week.
- Click on the Backup button next to the FTP check box for the current day of the week.
- Only use the Backup button next to the FTP check box for the current day of the week.
There are others at the bottom. Disregard all other backup buttons.
The backup will now run and will give you 2 messages when it has successfully completed.
Do not worry if you see “Not Responding.” The system is running and will complete the backup.
Important: Once you have successfully submitted your backup, you and your staff should no longer make any updates to your data while the migration takes place. You may use your current system as READ ONLY.
The migration of your Desktop data to your Family Suite stage site will take approximately 3 business days to complete from the start date.
