How to Backup Your Database
1. To backup your data, go to File
| Backup.
2.
This will open up a backup dialog box. Click the
Browse button and select a folder and file name.
Generally I name the file with the current date.
It is also advisable to select a drive different from the one
where the database is being stored. For example, if the
database is on your C drive, backup to a network drive, or an
external device (Floppy A Drive, Zip drive, etc.).
3. Click on the Options tab to select
additional ACT! files (templates, reports, layouts, etc)
to backup. There is also a box you can check to
remind you to backup every so many days.
4.
Once you have named the file, and selected the additional
files to be backed up, click the Start button.
You will see a status bar moving across your screen.
Once the backup is finished, you will get a dialog box stating
that the Backup is complete. Click OK and
you are ready to continue working in your database.
