Maintenance.

3. Click the Restore test results radio button.
4. Select the directory for the stored results.

Backup Database File: This function allows the user to manually perform
the same operation that occurs when the automatic database backup occurs. It
creates a complete backup of the database file to the specified drive/directory.
Compact Database File: When the backup and delete or delete only functions
are executed, the deleted data is removed from the database but the disk space
the data occupied in the database file is not. The compaction function creates
a new copy of the database with the excess space removed, creating a smaller,
better organized and, therefore, more responsive database. If CDS functions
such as opening or refreshing a data viewer grow noticeably less responsive over
time, compaction of the database may help. It is recommended that compaction
function be executed at least once a year.
A "Statistics" tab page allows users to view a summary page that lists:
1. The total results in the database,
2. The date and time of the oldest result in the database,
3. The date and time of the newest result in the database, and
4. A breakdown of the total results in the database by Result Type and
Method.
