I am a new Online user. I started to do an online backup and when asked to select a folder I selected one on my D: drive. But PC renamed the backup drive to N: I do not have a N drive on my computer. I tried without success to specify my D: drive. So I proceeded running the backup with the N: drive specified. It completed successfully but I can not find where the backup file was stored on my computer.
Doing some research I found this statement: "The backup & restore functionality is slightly different for PowerChurch Online users. Creating a file on the local computer requires that the file is initially downloaded from the online server using your internet connection." Ignoring the poor grammar of the second sentence, I find it tells you what to do but not how to do it. How do I find "the file" on the online server? How do I download the file to my PC? This instruction seems to imply one must manually download the backup, but the backup function seems to be asking for a file location in preparation for automatically downloading the backup.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thank you for your reply. The knowledge base article was much clearer than the help file. Backup is working now.
