NOTE-- We retired the BidMagic construction bidding
software in 2001. It has been replaced
by Goldenseal construction
estimating software.
We still include this BidMagic bidding software manual
as a convenience for users of our older
program. Many features are similar,
in Goldenseal estimating.

It's a good idea to make one or more backup copies
of each bid you are working with, so you won't lose
valuable work if the file is damaged, your hard drive dies, or some other catastrophe occurs.
If disk space
is tight, use BidMagic archive files to store backups of project information.
If you have plenty of disk space, you can also create full backup copies, which will be instantly
useable by the BidMagic construction estimating software.
To make a full backup copy while you are working in an estimate, follow these steps:
- Choose
Save a Copy from the File menu.
- Type in a new name for the backup copy of the file, and find a place
to put it. For best results, put the backup copy onto another hard drive or removeable
drive, or onto a floppy disk.
- Click OK.
To use the Finder to make a backup copy onto another hard drive, over a network,
onto a removeable hard drive, or onto a floppy disk, follow these steps:
- While in the Finder, mount
the second hard drive or removable disk, or insert the floppy disk into the floppy disk drive. Make
sure its icon is visible on the Desktop.
- Click on the icon for the file you'd like to back up, and drag
it onto the icon for the backup disk.
- If you are asked whether to replace an existing copy of the
file, click OK.
- A second copy of the file will be created on the second disk.
