Compacting and Repairing A Database
This feature repairs any small errors that may occur due to networking. Go to File ~ Compact &
Repair Database to use this feature.
Backing Up Your Database
To back up your database go to File ~ Backup Database. This feature ensures that if your
computer is stolen or the hard drive fails you will be able to recover your client information and
testing data. We suggest backing up at the end of each day. This feature allows you to back up
all impairment ratings once selected, all client information and protocol information. This feature
will back up all client files. You may also associate a password with the back up – please note
that BTE cannot help you if the password is forgotten.
It is recommended you compact and repair your database every one to two
months.
A back-up reminder can be set in the Environmental Settings Menu to remind
you to perform this function.
It is recommended you back up your database to floppy disks at the end of
each day. If you are using a laptop or will be transporting your computer,
back up prior to moving the system.
