Database Backup/Restore Operations
Once you have recorded all of your games into the database, it
is highly recommended that you keep a backup of your
database. In the unlikely event that you lose your data you can
always restore it from a backup location. How frequently you
backup your database depends on how often you add new
games. The database file is fairly small and can be backed up
on a floppy disk, CD-R/CD-RW, or to a network location.
Backup
To backup the database file, select DatabaseÆBackup. You will
then be prompted to enter a file name. Once you save the
database, a snapshot is taken and saved into that file.
Restore
To restore a database from a file, select DatabaseÆRestore.
You will then be prompted to enter an existing filename. Once
you have selected the file, Vali-File will overwrite the existing
database with the selected database.
