14.6 Backup Database
If a cold reset occurs, or if your battery goes dead, all of the data in
the Database manager will be lost. So, it is very important that you
make a backup file every time you make a change to the Database
file. To go to “backup database,” open the menu by pressing “space-
m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2.” Then, use the “space-1” or “space-4,” and
find “backup database.” Then, press “enter.” You can also press “u
(dots 1-3-6)” while you are in the menu to get to “backup database.”
Or, you can press “enter-u (dots 1-3-6)” to activate this function
without calling up the menu.
If you already have a backup file, you will hear the message “backup
changes? Yes.” If you have made any changes to your database file,
press “enter” to create a new backup file. If you want to keep the
previous backup file, press “space,” locate “no,” and press “enter” on
it. When you make a backup file in your database manager, you will
always have a new backup file with the extension SDF. The name of
backup file is “UserDatabase.sdf”
14.7 Restore Database
If you want to restore the database file after a cold reset, press
“space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to call up the menu, and use the up
and down arrow keys to find “restore database.” Then, press “enter”
on “restore database.” Or, you can press “r (dots 1-2-3-5)” while you
are in the menu to find “restore database.” You can also press “enter-
o (dots 1-3-5)” to activate this function, without calling up the menu.
