Note: File names can be up to 8 characters long with no spaces. They can
contain letters, numbers, and special characters.
The left Backup Database window displays a list of existing backup names;
the right window displays the destination drive and directory.
TransAct, by default, places the database
backup on the same drive and directory in
which TransAct has been installed (usually
c:\transact). To change that location, click
the single down arrow next to the drive box (above) to show a drop-down
box of available destinations. Click on the letter to select your preferred
backup drive.
Under the destination box is the directory
box (shown at right). Use this box to select
a different directory other than the default
directory where you installed the TransAct
program.
TransAct automatically generates the
default backup file name by adding today’s
date numbers to the letters bu (i.e.
bummddyy). Use the Tab key to highlight the default file name or click
inside the Enter Backup Name box to edit the name. Delete the default file
name, and type your desired backup file name in the box.
