In order to do a full backup of the 3f
Software Planner, you must backup the
database and all the files uploaded to the
system at the same time. Making two
backups, one for the database and one for
the files, ensures that you will be able
to restore the system 100%.
In this example,
we used the built-in file backup tool that comes with Windows 2003 Server. The files are backed up to a hard drive.
We strongly recommend that you copy the backed up files (database file and
uploaded files) to a CD, DVD, or other media for added security in case of
hard disk failure.
1. Start the 3f
Software Planner database utility
2. Enter
password
Enter your system
administrator password (SA), then press "Next". By default, the system
administrator password is 123 unless you have changed it.
3. Choose
Procedure
Choose "Backup
Database" from the combo box, then enter the Backup To and File Name
fields before clicking "Backup Database".
4. Backup
Database
Click this button
to start backing up the database.
5. Backup
complete
When the database
has been successfully backed up, this message box appears.
Note: The
database server cannot backup to a remote computer. The backup path must
be a local path in the database server.
6. Backup files
After you have
backed up your database, you should backup the files uploaded to the 3f
Software Planner. This can be done with a tool such as the backup utility
in your OS. Start the backup tool.
7. Choose the
files
Choose the folder
wherein the uploaded files are located.
(i.e. C:\3f
Software Planner 2006\IPlan\pages\3fUploadDownload). Check the checkbox
next to the folder in the backup tool. Double check that all folders and
files below are included in the backup.
8.
Backup complete
When the backup is
complete, this window will appear. Click "Close".
