automatically at a scheduled time and
frequency. This is documented separately
(to follow/below).
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 Guardall 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 Guardall
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, Guardall Director V4, and
Guardall 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.
