Warning - NTBackup & Simply Accounting company files

.. learned something today.  Don't count on NTBackup to create useable copies of Simply Accounting company files when restored.  Problem is due to NTBackup not backing up all the 0-byte files that Simply Accounting uses.  Apparently there's a setting that can be changed to have NTBackup copy all files (including 0-byte ones). I think this issue applies to Simply Accounting 2009 and later versions (where you need both .SAI and SAJ folder).  Typical symptom when attempting to open a 'restored' company file is "required data file is missing". Talk to Tony at Code 6 for help on resolving this problem. Recommended backup method is to use Simply Accounting to create backup files, then let NTBackup backup those files.
