Backing-up HE2 Job Data

The export function in HE2 can be used to back up your job data.

The first step is to create a new folder on your hard drive to export the data to. This new folder should be a separate folder - not a sub-folder of the Slant/Fin folder. Create a new folder using Windows Explorer - I have named mine HE2data. Then use the export function to send your job data to the back-up folder.

1. If you have HE2 open, close the program to save any work in progress
2. Open the Heat Loss Express module from the main HE2 menu
3. Select Jobs in the menu bar, and then Export Data
4. Select your back-up folder in the Destination File Name menu
5. Enter a File name for this back-up, such as a 6-digit number to represent the date of the back-up, and then open
6. Select the jobs you wish to back-up from the job list, and then click OK

Using Windows Explorer, verify that the data file is now listed in your back-up folder. Once your data is there, consider copying the back-up folder to CD or floppy disk to preserve your job data in case you have to re-install the entire HE2 program in the event of a hard drive failure.

Important note - Boiler proposals are not backed up by this process.
