If needed, select the Clean up database before performing the backup checkbox
to compress the data before backing up the database. Click Yes when you’re
ready to back up your data immediately, effectively saving a copy of your
database in the backup directory.
You’ll see a message notifying you when the backup is complete.
Importing a Backed Up Database
You’ll use this option mainly when you’ve backed up your database before
setting up the software on a new PC, and now you need to import that backup.
You can also use the option if you’ve experienced a system crash and need to
restore your system.
Select ToolsDatabaseImport Backup to display the dialog shown in
Figure 55, then select the backup you want to import. Note that you cannot
browse to the database—it must be stored in the backup directory.
