How to backup and restore FaxTalk data and settings using FaxTalk Backup
The FaxTalk software includes the FaxTalk Backup program that can be used to create and restore backups of all of the data and settings in the FaxTalk program. You can choose to backup or restore specific portions of the information stored in FaxTalk or all of the data.
