2 Browse to the secure location on your PC where you store all your database backups
(e.g.
MirandaDatabaseBackups), and type a name for the new backup, preferably a
name that includes the multiviewer name and the date (e.g.
KX_A&B_08_12_02.zip).
Working Offline
When using XEdit offline, you work inside a workspace located on your client PC. You set
the location for this workspace when you first opened XEdit. It is recommended to consider
this workspace as a “sandbox” into which you import the database you wish to work on
during this session, and from which you export the database at the end of the session.
See Importing a Database on page 70, for instructions on how to import the database from
a specific multiviewer into your workspace. Once the import is completed, you can work
locally, in your XEdit workspace. When you have completed your changes, export the
database from the workspace, back to the multiviewer.
Applying a Backup Database to the Multiviewer
To restore a backup database, you must use XEdit in offline mode. A backup database must
first be restored to your local workspace before it can be exported back to the appropriate
multiviewer.
To restore a backup database
1On the Configure menu, point to Database, and then click Restore backup.
A window appears, prompting you to locate a backup database.
2 Navigate to your central backup storage area, select the backup database you wish to
restore, and then click Open.
A message appears prompting you to confirm your intention.
3Click Ye s.
Once the operation completes, your XEdit workspace area will contain the restored
database. You can now work on this database in offline mode, or export it back to the
multiviewer.
TIP
Once you are satisfied with the location of your local workspace, on the
Configure menu, point to Database, and then select the Do not prompt for
the database path check box, to avoid being prompted every time you
open XEdit.
