in the toolbar to open the dialog box.
Fig. 18. Backup Configuration
IMPORTANT
Your backup files must reside in a directory outside
the TStatSpec™ program directory.
2. If necessary, click the directory button to go up at least
one level above the TStatSpec™ program directory.
— Type a descriptive configuration backup name in the
File name field.
— Click Save.
TStatSpec backs up the database in *.tsb and *.hdr files. In
case the files are transferred both the files need to be copied.
The *.tsb file is used for restoration; do not delete these files.
TStatSpec backs up the database in *.tsb files.
The user can also select the backup option from
Configuration > Backup.
Restore a Configuration
Description:
This section describes the process used to restore a backed
up configuration. The restore operation is typically used to
import a backed up TStatSpec™ database, but it can also be
used in the event of a database failure.
Procedure:
Retrieve a backup copy of a TStatSpec™ configuration to view
or modify.
1. Press SHIFT + CTRL + N or choose Restore from the
Configuration menu or click the Configuration
Restore in the toolbar to open the dialog box:
Fig. 19. Restore Configuration
2. Locate the diskette or directory where the backup is
stored.
3. Select the *.tsb file to restore. If the configuration to be
restored already exists in TStatSpec™ workspace, then
the user is prompted to overwrite or restore the configu-
ration under a different name.
Fig. 20. Configuration Restore Message
4. Click OK.
If the configuration that is being restored is open, a message
displays that the current configuration will be overwritten.
If a different configuration is open, TStatSpec™ displays a
warning that it will close the current configuration, and
prompts the user to continue or cancel the restore action.
TStatSpec™ checks for adequate disk space. If there is not
enough space a message displays and the process
terminates. If TStatSpec™ begins a restore and cannot finish,
it displays an error message and deletes any restored data so
that no partial files remain.
Batch Restore
Description:
Unlike the Restore Configuration option, you do not need to
back up any Configuration explicitly. This option requires the
folder where previous configuration data was created/saved
so that it can automatically search and find the configuration
databases that need to be restored.
