Backing up and restoring the database
Creating Database Backups
• Go to Tools, Database and click on the Backup tab.
• This feature allows for scheduling of regular backups.
• Set the Days of the Week and Time for the backups.
• Path to Backups must be set to either:
o The Windows Shared or Public folder on the host PC – you must ask your IT
department to schedule regular backups of this folder to the network. Or,
o To a Flash or USB drive connected to the host PC.
Database Restore
• If the host PC crashes, the software can be installed on a new PC and the backed up database
can be restored on that PC. Contact Dickson Technical support for procedures.
