8.4 BACKUP
You may also want to save your data.mdb file periodically on a portable memory device like a
thumb drive or portable hard drive.
Printing a Bench sheet every time you finish a run of initials or finals will insure that you will
always have at least the raw data from which you could do the calculations by hand. However, a
computer failure could also destroy your configuration information (your Samples’, Group,
Criteria, and so on). To guard against such a failure you should backup your BOD Analyst Pro
software files regularly. Make sure you backup all of the folders where database files have been
accessed since your last backup.
