Backup Preferences

Response creates a copy, referred to as a Backup, of your database whenever the database is

opened. This setting screen allows you to establish: where you want the backup to be located

and how many copies of the database are to be saved before Response overwrites them.


Backup
Directory
By default, the Backup directory is designated as the Response/backup folder. We strongly

recommend that you change the Backup directory to a location on your network, or to a thumb

drive.

Number of Backups
The default number of backups, the

rollover

cycle

, is 5. This means that five separate

copies will be made of your database before

it is overwritten. In the backup directory you

designate, if you have a database named

Default.prs

, the first backup will be named

Default_1.prs

, the second

Default_2.prs

, the

third

Default_3.prs

, and so on. The number

of backup copies you designate for your

rollover cycle may depend on the amount of

space you have available for their storage.

When to Backup

By default when you start Response it

automatically creates a copy of this

database. You can specify to create a

backup file when the software opens or

closes. If you select another database,

Response opens it and automatically creates

a backup copy of the newly opened database.

What do I do if I lose my database? If you lose your database, or it becomes corrupted,

copy the latest backup into your Response/database folder. Startup Response and click on

the Open button. Navigate to where you copied the backup database, select it, and click on the

Open button.
