To send a backup via email, first make the backup on your hard drive. In Farm Works click on File and then Make Backup. Making a backup on your hard drive is no different than to a floppy disk, just do not put your floppy in the drive before you go to the make backup screen.
Every email program is a little different, but in general, to attach a file to e-mail:
- Go into your e-mail program and create (compose) a new message.
- Enter the correct e-mail address for the person receiving the e-mail.
- Add a brief message to the person receiving the e-mail with any instructions or what problems need to be addressed.
- Look for a button (usually has a paper clip icon on it) or a menu choice for "ATTACH FILE".
- Browse to the location where your backup is saved. If it is on the hard drive the default location would be in the C drive and the farmproj\backup\ folder. If it is on your floppy drive just select the A drive. Next highlight the file name that you saved the backup under.
- Select attach, and the file should now be displayed as an attachment.
- When you click on "SEND", a copy of the backup will be sent with the message.
