How to Perform a Manual back-up of your Organizer’s Toolbox database

PRINT

All client databases are automatically backed-up every night and stored in a secure, off-site location so that if you ever need to retrieve lost data there is a route to restore.  Also, every time an Administrator performs an import a backup is performed immediately preceding each import (unless the Administrator un-checks the “Backup before import box; NUWS does not recommend un-checking this box).  However, there are some limited circumstances that an OTA will wish to perform a manual back.  This article describes this simple procedure.

1. To access the manual backup, launch “Toolbox Users” as though you were going to perform an import.



2. Locate the and click “Backup” button right next to the “Import” button.


3. After clicking the Backup button you’ll receive a message that the database will be backed-up.  Click “OK.”

   

4. After 45-90 seconds (depending on the size of your organization’s database) you’ll receive a message that the database has been backed-up.


5. Make a note of the time & date that you performed the back-up and the reason you performed a manual backup and keep it someplace safe.
