Even though MultiCharts is a stable and reliable piece of software you may want to backup your custom data and studies to be on the safe side in case of a system crash or hardware failure.

==Saving User Data==
There are two ways to backup user data: backup database files or export data from QuoteManager into .qmd files.<br>
Copying database files is faster, but it you won’t be able to merge this data with the other data which already exists in the database if needed.<br>
Exporting data from QuoteManager into .qmd files will allow you to merge this data with the other data which will exist in the database in the future.<br>
'''To save database files:'''
# Click Windows '''Start''' button.

# For Windows Vista or Windows 7, paste the following command: ''%allusersprofile%\TS Support\MultiCharts'' ;<br>For Windows XP paste the following command: ''%allusersprofile%\Application Data\TS Support\MultiCharts''
# Press '''Enter.'''

'''To export data:'''
# Open QuoteManager:<br>In MultiCharts main menu select '''File''', then point to '''New''' and click '''QuoteManager Window'''
