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.
