Monthly backup

21.1Back up last month

Keep your own copy of each month's tax paperwork, on your own computer.

On the 1st of every month, an administrator should do the monthly backup. It's administrators only — the zip holds the whole brewery's tax records — so if you don't see Monthly backup on Home, ask an administrator.

1. On Home, click Monthly backup.
2. Press the button. It backs up the month before, not the month you're in, because people often record things after the last day of the month.
3. A zip file named for the month, for example August 2026 (2026年8月 on a Japanese screen), lands on your computer. It holds that month's tax summary, the recipes you submitted to the tax office that month, and that month's inventory records.
4. Open it and check it looks right.

Example: on September 1, press Monthly backup. August 2026.zip appears in your Downloads. Open it, check the tax summary and the inventory, and keep it somewhere safe.

Underneath the button there's a month picker, for catching up a month you missed, and each piece can still be printed or downloaded on its own. Saving to Google Drive is there as an extra, not the main way.
