Backup
The Backup command is used to archive old data as a zip file. The backup files are stored in the
Backup sub-directory in the DriveRight FMS install directory. The Backup sub-directory is created
the first time you back up your data.
The backup zip files are named based on the start and end dates chosen for the backup. For
example, if you pick the dates between March 6, 2003 and March 27, 2003, the backup file will be
named 6March2003_27March2003.zip.
You can configure how much data to keep active after a backup by setting up your
in the Setup menu. Limiting the amount of data in the active database helps
prevent the database from growing into an unmanageable size.
To backup data:
1. Click
Backup in the File menu. The Backup Files To dialog box is displayed.
2. From
the Backup Files To dialog box select the folder where the backup file will be
written. The Backup Options dialog box is displayed.
