Backing Up - Fluke 750SW User Manual

25.1 Backing Up

Since you are running a Microsoft® Access version of DPCTrack2, it is recommended
that you back up your database files on a regular basis. Backing up your data regularly is
your insurance policy that information will never be lost. Selecting "Backup Database"
from the Tools menu at the top of the Home Screen provides you with an easy way to do
this. Selecting this option will open the SELECT A BACKUP DATABASE FROM FILE
screen shown in Figure 25.1 Backing up DPCTrack2 does not delete any information
from your system. It makes a copy of your data, which may then be stored in a secure
location.
When backing up your data, you may select the directory that you would like the copy of
your data to be sent to. (This will default to the "Backups" folder) The file name will
default to "<today's date_dpctrack2_backup.mdb" is the file name for your DPCTrack2
database and should be left as it is shown on the screen.
The file extension ".mdb" cannot be modified. Once you have selected a
backup file destination, click the Save button. When the backup has
completed, a confirmation message will appear on your screen.
A system reminder may be set so that you never forget to back up your database. This
reminder functionality is available in all versions of DPCTrack2. In the SYSTEM
OPTIONS screen you may enter a value for "Number of Days Between Backup
Warnings" See Chapter 7 for more information. Based upon this number the system will
bring up a routine reminder. For example, if you enter "30" into this field, then every 30
days a reminder will appear on your screen as you try to shut down the program. (Note
that only users whose groups have the ability to perform backups will see this reminder.)
