  • In addition to the instance that your organisation uses for day to day work, SmartSimple customers have access to a second backup instance.
  • These backup instances of SmartSimple are updated nightly with all the current information from the main instance as it existed when the backup is performed each night.
  • You can log into the backup instance with the same username and password as the production instance.
