First steps

12. Back-up / restore the database

Once all of the basic settings have been completed, backing up the database prior to importing the
first data is recommended. This means you can try out all of the functions at your ease during the in-
itial phase – when you may input test data for instance.

Note:

Only users who have been assigned administrator rights are able to backup and restore the

database.

Open the menu item

Configuration

and then click on

Backup database

. A new window opens with

a wizard who leads you through the subsequent steps. The file ending for your back up file is *.fbk and
the file name consists of the current date and time as follows: backup_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.

To restore a backup, a wizard is also initialised in a separate window. To carry out such a task, please
click on

Restore database

and follow the corresponding instructions.

Note:

The database should be backed up on a regular basis, and if possible on a separate data sto-

rage unit.

Carrying out a back up prior to the importing of new position data is also recommended.
