There are many ways to backup your database in case of data loss. This is one
of them. Others can be found in our Best Practices support Forum at
http://www.nmcollector.net/forum.
To Backup your data:
a. From the main menu, select "File > Backup Database" which will present you
with the following window.
This window is a bit confusing because I want you to select a directory and I
restrict what gets displayed to directories only, but due to a known Java bug, it
asks you to specify a "File Name." ( if interested, please see the following url for
more information on the bug:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6438246),
b. Navigate to the backup location of your choice. You can create a new directory
if you wish. Here I have created and selected a directory named
NMCollectorJE_DB_BU in the existing C:\BU directory path.
c. Once you have selected your desired backup location simply click the Save
button to create the back up in that location. The backup is named, simply
enough, "nmcswDB_backup."
