4.15 Saving the Backup File Off Your Computer
1. To backup your SAM RF System data files off your computer, click on the Management menu at the
top of the window or the Management icon.
2. Point to Maintenance, then select Back Up.
3. At the Maintenance Backup PC dialog
box, the default backup file name and
location will already be listed in the box
next to the words Self-Extracting
Database Backup.EXE.
4. To change this default information, click
the Browse button next to the box. This
will display a typical Windows Save As
PC dialog box.
5. Click the down arrow () to access a
different directory (for a CD drive, tape
drive or zip disk drive). Choose the
appropriate location for saving your backup file and click Save.
Note: While most computers use the C:\ directory as the hard drive, other directories for the CD drive,
tape or zip drive will not necessarily be the same for all computers.
6. When the file has been saved, you will return to the Maintenance Backup PC dialog box. The new
location for the backup file (along with the name of the backup file) will now appear in the box next to
the words “Self-Extracting Database Backup.EXE.” Click Create Backup File to proceed.
Within a few moments, the SAM RF System will display an information screen with the following
message:
X:\PROGRAM FILES\SAMRF\BACKUP\SAMDBBackup.EXE has been successfully created.
Note: X indicates the letter of the directory you have chosen for the backup file.
7. Click OK on the information screen, and then click Cancel at the Maintenance Backup PC dialog box
to return to the SAM RF System main menu screen.
