Database Backup
You can back up the instrument's testing database to a CD-R, USB drive , network location,
or floppy disk in Database Backup Format (.fdt2). Back up your database regularly. Select a
backup schedule that accommodates your business.
Note: A database backup creates a folder on the destination media named from the
instrument serial number (e.g., SN51111122222). The name of the backup file is created
from the instrument serial number and the date and time of the backup (e.g.,
SN51111122222_FullBackup_05-11-2010_06.48.44_1.fdt2). Along with backup of test
data, a database backup also backs up the current user settings and system settings.
Note: Matrix System Software Version 8.0 creates a different database structure than
previous versions that is not fully compatible with previous software releases. When data is
imported from 07.02.01 or lower Matrix software versions to version 8.0 software systems,
the Matrix 8.0 software will convert the data to the proper format. Matrix 8.0 data cannot
be imported into a Matrix running a lower version of software.
CAUTION: We do not recommend that you use optical disks (CDs) for long-term data
storage or backup. Use should be limited to data transfer between systems. Take
care to protect these media from damage. We recommend you use hard plastic
cases when transporting and shipping these media. Optical disks are very
susceptible to scratches that could render them unreadable.
