Making a Database 'Backup'
Using the Table Repair Utility
With software V3.30, you can
perform a backup using the Database
Repair utility on your VEREX Director
workstation (server PC if client-
server).
Attention: The "Backup Folder" and "# of
days to Keep" values must be set through
the Director software. To view or change
these settings, refer the preceding topic.
Scheduled Backups: To set backups to
occur automatically at a scheduled time, see
“
Setting Backups to Occur Automatically ”
(to follow/below).
Client/Server Systems: Beginning with
VEREX Director v3.30, Database 'backups'
can be performed 'on-line'--without being
concerned if client PCs are logged in.
To use this method:
 Open the Windows
Start menu, and
select Programs , VEREX Director
V4 , and VEREX Director-Repair .
 Under Backup/Restore  , click
[Backup Database] .
 Wait for a 'success' confirmation message,
and then click [OK] .
 Click the [x] in the upper-right corner of the
'Director-Repair' screen to close the
database check/repair utility.
Notice: Beginning with V3.3, the 'backup' creates two
files (.BAK and .XDF). Both of these files are needed to
restore the database.
