Backup Preferences
Response creates a copy, referred to as a Backup, of your database whenever the database is
opened. This setting screen allows you to establish: where you want the backup to be located
and how many copies of the database are to be saved before Response overwrites them.
Backup Directory
By default, the Backup directory is designated as the Response/backup folder. We strongly
recommend that you change the Backup directory to a location on your network, or to a thumb
drive.
Number of Backups
The default number of backups, the
rollover
cycle , is 5. This means that five separate
copies will be made of your database before
it is overwritten. In the backup directory you
designate, if you have a database named
Default.prs , the first backup will be named
Default_1.prs , the second Default_2.prs , the
third Default_3.prs , and so on. The number
of backup copies you designate for your
rollover cycle may depend on the amount of
space you have available for their storage.
When to Backup
By default when you start Response it
automatically creates a copy of this
database. You can specify to create a
backup file when the software opens or
closes. If you select another database,
Response opens it and automatically creates
a backup copy of the newly opened database.
What do I do if I lose my database? If you lose your database, or it becomes corrupted,
copy the latest backup into your Response/database folder. Startup Response and click on
the Open button. Navigate to where you copied the backup database, select it, and click on the
Open button.
