This topic explains:
- how to backup equipment data
- where backup files are stored
- how to move database to a new computer
It is recommended that you back up your data on a regular basis e.g. once a week or once a month.
You should especially do a backup after entering new records, adding new report or label definitions, changing application options, moving equipment database and application settings to a new computer.
When you use Backup function all essential data files for the currently selected database are compressed and stored in a selected backup folder.
If you have more than one equipment tracking database system you have to Load each database and then back it up.
