10.7 Database Management
In addition to the complete measurement data, the database also contains the entries for the System Options
and User Preferences. A backup strategy should be implemented to avoid any loss of data in case of a computer
failure and to allow access to measurement results after a long period of time. A backup creates a copy of the
current database on a second medium that then exists in addition to the original database. Creating a backup
copy enables restoration of the database with the copy in case of data loss or corruption of the original database.
This is especially useful for the full restoration of a system (e.g., crash recovery).
Do not perform Database backup and restore while measurements are running. Doing so may result in loss
of data.
