Before performing any routine data maintenance, it is recommended that you always make a

backup copy of your database first in case you encounter an unexpected problem.

To backup a database:

Close all other Shadow Tracker Professional programs, i.e. Shadow Tracker, Premier Base

Extractor, Wireless Grabber or Data Processor.

1 In the Administrator window, select Database > Backup.

The Database Backups portion of the Administrator will be displayed in the lower half of the

Administrator window.

2 To select a location for the Backup database to be placed, click the Select button and

navigate to the appropriate folder.

OTE: Double-clicking a folder, will cause the folders tree view to expand or retract.

3 When the correct path is displayed in the Database Backup Location, click the Set button.

4 Click the Backup button.

5 You will receive a confirmation message informing you that the Backup was successfully

created. Click OK.

Backup databases are always saved with the file extension “.ar#”, where ‘#’ is a sequentially

incremented number.

MPORTANT: Backup, or archived, databases are not editable, once created no changes or

modifications to the data are allowed. Please contact ATTI Technical Support if it should become

necessary to edit a Backup database.
