If your AutoCount Accounting version is earlier than 1.9.6.21, you need to install WinRAR version not later than 5.40. As this link connects to the latest version and beta version of WinRAR, for earlier version you may search online for WinRAR 5.40 installer.



4) After installed WinRAR, key in the WinRAR Directory, then click on Validate Path. Once the validation is successful, click on OK. Then click on Save and Apply.




You may proceed to perform backup from client pc after completed the setting as mentioned above.
