3. The selected help project will be opened in live mode.

5. Click the tools button to show the 'Tools' menu.
6. Click 'Backup'
7. The help system project will be compressed into a single file. A link will appear indicating that the backup file was created successfully. Click the 'Click here to download..' link to download the backup file to your harddrive or your network.

9. Next, specify a folder to save the backup file to.
10. This project backup can be restored at any time by clicking the 'Browse' button on the 'Manage Projects' form. For more information see Uploading a Project
Note: Because the backup feature compresses the help system project into a single file, the project can be moved around from Web Server to Web Server as desired. If nessesary the file can also be emailed to Extreme Ease technical support for troubleshooting.
