Procedure documentationSpecifying the Destination of Backup Files

Procedure

This is a list of the available drives and directories. To changes the current drive/directory use the mouse pointer to double click over the drive/directory desired. The title of the window changes as each drive/directory is selected to indicate the current drive/directory. The list box will change to reflect the available selections for the current drive/directory. To move back up the directory tree select the parent directory ‘[..]’.

Check the box Use as default backup path from now on if you want to use the currently selected drive/directory as the default location for all subsequent database backups.

Note Note

If at all possible the backup location should be on another drive. Either a second physical drive on the same machine running the database engine or a mapped network drive. It is not very safe to keep the backed up files on the same drive as the running database.

End of the note.
