Maintenance options:

• Auto Backup On Exit: set this option if you want to backup all databases when you exit the program.
• Include Image Files in the backup: equipment images are stored in the c:\handy_et\data\db\db_img folder. If included in the backup file, they slow down the backup process and make the backup file (zip) huge. (new in version 4.0)
• Backup Folder: define the folder where the backup file will be saved.

  1. the backup of the database (all tables), this is FDB file.
