Description
By default the backup database makes a copy of the Master
Database in the File folder specified in the User Preferences. The
backup file by default will have a name of the form YYYY-MM-
DD-Vnn-nn-nn.mdb (the "n"s standing in for the digits in the
version number of the current configurator). The back up can be
used by the Restore Database command to recover all of the jobs
in the database. The Import command can be used to recover
selected jobs from a backup. Backup your Master Database often
and store a copy of the resulting file on a USB drive or other
media.
Restores the database from a backup copy. Note: This operation
will replace the entire contents of the current, working database
with the backup.
To ensure optimal performance, you should compact and repair
your database on a regular basis. If you have purged job versions
or deleted jobs, Compacting the Database will regain the space
occupied by those records.
Specifies User Preferences, such as the location of database,
backups, job files, etc.
Opens a submenu allowing you to choose the Backups, Job File,
or Job Builds directory. The configurator then opens up a
Windows Explorer window for the chosen folder. This feature can
be used to quickly locate a recently exported job, which can then
be emailed or saved elsewhere.
