Additional Information:

Please note that success of any data migration depends primarily on the quality of the data set provided to us. Before attempting to migrate your information into Clio, you should ensure that your data is consistently formatted, well organized, sufficiently backed up, and stored securely. If you are not certain, it is recommended that you consult with your Clio representative before proceeding

2. Navigate to the Firm Settings view of the Office module
3. Select, Maintenance > Utilities
4. Under the Backup section, click the Browse button. 
5. Select the location to which you will save your backup.  Note: location must be on the same drive as your server.
