Auto Save and Hassle Free Recovery

You are working on the last entry of data in the Balance Sheet. So relieved to finally finish this tedious record. You are about to hit the enter key then suddenly the server shuts down. What used to be a Profit and Loss Balance Sheet is now a blank computer screen. Don’t you just hate it when bad things happen just when you least expect it? 
With our Auto Save and Free Recovery feature no need for such worries. The auto save takes regular snapshot of transaction information that was entered into the program before it is submitted for processing. In case of workstation malfunctions, the entered transaction information will be retrieved automatically.. No need to re-enter all lost information. This saves both time and effort.
ECLaw also makes use of the transaction recovery function of Microsoft SQL Server® database engine. If the server suddenly shuts down while data processing, the unfinished transaction will be cancelled automatically. This maintains balance in all accounts and data consistency.
