# Saving Clients & Jobs

All data is saved automatically at least every 5 minutes. Saving the state of the application is therefore not something that you will normally need to worry about.

Clients and jobs can be saved as Archives to allow old clients and jobs to be removed from the main window, or to share information with a colleague. These saved archives can later be imported back into the application.

To create an archive, simply drag a client, job, or job folder to the desktop or any other Finder window. Archives can also be saved by selecting "Save Archive..." from the File menu.

To import an archive, just drag the archive file from the finder to the left hand list in the application, or double-clicking the archive file in the Finder.

For backup purposes, On The Job stores it's main data file in your Application Support folder (located in the Library folder in your home folder). Saving the data there should be part of your overall backup strategy.
