Assuming you have created a backup file using setup.pl or the following command on the command line (which is the command line equivalent of what setup.pl does):

 $ pg_dump -F c -f your_backup.bak your_company_database

As of 1.3.7 the backup functionality moved to setup.pl, the database administration interface.

Login with your ledgersmb database user / admin user. This can't be done using your normal LedgerSMB login account since it doesn't have enough rights to backup db and roles. The default address for setup.pl is http://localhost/ledgersmb/setup.pl.

The setup.pl backup facility consists of two parts:

I'm using non-ASCII (Unicode) characters. Why can't I generate PDF output?

The short answer is that TeX doesn't know how to deal with UTF-8 (or rather non-ASCII) characters. XeTeX has been designed to work around these limitations. The easiest way to generate PDFs is to install Xe(La)TeX and use the 'xedemo' templates - these templates have been 'ported' from LaTeX to XeLaTeX.

Distribution specific install instructions listed below.

Debian / Ubuntu 

Install texlive-xetex that includes xelatex

The major fixes in this area have to do with administrative password resets being ineffective, and HTTP credentials not being cleared. These fixes are available separately to any user who needs them.

LedgerSMB 1.3.27 has been released. This version includes a number of enhancements to the migration process, creating new user accounts for 1.2 users (passwords must still be set by an administrator), and a number of minor bug fixes that will improve the user experience.
