Backing Up Your Database

---

Before you purge your database at the end of the school year, you should backup your SAK data files. You might also want to backup datafiles on a regular basis to have on hand in case of a system failure.

Note: All SAK network users need to exit the program before backing up,otherwise data files cannot be accessed for a successful backup.

1. File >> Backup Database produces this pop up window.


2. Use the file button to navigate to the desired folder for placement of your backup files.

3. If the Date-Time Stamp Backup Files option is checked, the backup process will create a folder with the date-time stamp as its name and it will contain the backup file. The date-time stamp format is YYYYMMDD HHMM.

4. Click the Backup button.

5. A Confirmation window will pop up upon completion. Click OK to finish.
