How to back up your database
We recommend that you back up your database on a regular basis. If you encounter a problem and
need to restore your database, the restoring can only go back as far as your last backup. There are
two options for the backup. Either the Logfile can be Reset allowing new data to be written over the
old data, or the Logfile is not Reset and new data is added to the end of the file.
1. Enter the Drive letter for the location where the files are to be backed up. (Zip, Jaz, etc.).
