When you save the backup, give it a unique name so it's easy to identify. This also prevents accidental overwrites.
Save the backup somewhere you can easily find it, like your Windows desktop. Note: If your company file is hosted on a network, save the backup on your computer's local hard drive. Don't save it on your network.
