Is there a way in Manager where we can remove and save the data for a particular year (or period) to another backup files and restore it back if required. Eg: separating 2020 accounts to a 2020.manager file and restoring it whenever we want to check any details.
The manager file size is increasing bit high, and it become a problem to keep few years in the same file. Please let me know if you already have a solution for this. How does other address this issue ?
What size is your Manager file?
What edition (Server, Cloud or Desktop)?
Large file sizes are not really a problem at all
There is no easy way to remove transactions from a file so you could create a copy and attempt to do this using Batch Delete and reenter opening balances but this is not recommened by anyone here
size is about 6MB for an year. I am using Desktop version.
Sorry but that is insignificant, 100 years still only would be 600MB. Manager (like most) being a perpetual accounting application is not suited for annual accounting like most accounting software. For P&L part annual accounting is fine but for Balance sheet (what the business owns and owes) it is not.
6MB is small - I wouldn’t worry until you get to well over 200MB
