A. How do I backup my data to a disk? The d ata file is located at C:/ Talk-A-
Phone/ Database/ talert.d b (d ep end ing on the installation, the Database su b -
d irectory m ay be located w ithin a d ifferent d irectory). You m u st qu it all Talk-A-Lert
p rogram s before m aking a cop y of this file.
If you are m anaging a large nu m ber of em ergency p hones and / or p olling several
tim es p er d ay, you r d atabase m ay soon exceed the cap acity of a flop p y d isk. We
recom m end that those u sers either save their d ata to a netw ork d rive (if available) or
to a CD-R or CD-RW.
If you have a backu p of you r d atabase, you can re-install Talk-A-Lert from the
