To Backup the Database

1. Click File > Backup Database. The file location specified in the User Preference

appears and the file name will be in the form of YYYY-MM-DD.mdb.

2. Click Save. A popup window appears notifying you of a successful backup.

The backup can be used by the Restore Database command to recover all of the jobs in the

database. You can also use the Import command to recover selected jobs from a backup.

Backup your Master Database often and store a copy of the resulting file on a CD or other

media.

Note: If the Keep Only Latest Versions After Backup option of User Preferences is

enabled, old versions of each job in your main database will be deleted, retaining

only the latest version of each job.
