Click Connect. The SkanIt Database Maintenance program connects
to the working database engine and database.
The database engine name is displayed in the Connected to field. You
can now use the Backup, Restore, Archive , New database and Upgrade
tabs.
To use a restored, archived or new database, you have to change that database
to be the working database within SkanIt Software. See Changing the
working database" on page 290.
Backup
You can make a backup file of the database. The Backup function creates a
copy file of the working database used by SkanIt Software. The backup file
should be stored in a permanent and secure media.
Caution You must make a separate backup file of the SkanIt
database. A general company backup does not backup the SkanIt
database because the MSQL server does not give access to the
SkanIt database.
Note It is the responsibility of the user to make a backup file of
the database.
Make sure the working database is correct. See Changing the working
database" on page 290.
• Backup file - Give a name to the backup file with a full file path and a
file extension, for example, C:\SkanIt_backupfile.bak.
Click the Backup button. You will be notified when the backup file is ready.
A backup file can be restored to a database using the Restore function.
