Create and Verify a Manual Backup
How to Create and Verify a Manual Backup in Muhasib ERP
Overview
This guide will help you create an approved Muhasib database backup and record enough information to check that it is recoverable.
Muhasib asks SQL Server to create a database backup through this workflow. A success message alone does not prove restorability or application consistency.
Who can do this
You need access to Backup & Restore, SQL/file-system access, and organizational backup authorization.
Before you start
Notify users, finish critical transactions, stop or coordinate integrations, confirm free protected storage, and record application/database revision.
Where to find it
Back Office → Essentials Setup → Backup and Restore → Software Backup.

Record timestamp, size, database identity/revision, application build, and checksum when supported.
Step 6: Copy according to retention/off-site policy
Step 7: Verify restoration only into an isolated disposable SQL environment
Check your work
Confirm the file exists, is non-zero, is protected, and restores into isolation. Launch the matching Muhasib build against the restored clone and run integrity/checking checks.
If something goes wrong
- Never overwrite the only good backup.
- Do not store backups in public/shared folders without protection.
