Settings for Backup



Within the backup settings you can specify a default location to which the backups will be saved. You can also specify when automatic backups are to be carried out.

Default settings

Default path to backup copy: This is where you define the directory that the program will use during automatic backup and what the program is to suggest during standard backup. You can either enter the path directly in the field or click the Select folder button to specify one.

The system asks if you would like to create the folder you state, if it does not already exist.

Automatic backup

Automatic backup when closing the program: This is where you can define whether an automatic backup should be taken when you close the program. Automatic backups are only performed when closing the program. If, for example, you have set the backup to be taken once a week, the system will suggest creating the backup when you close the program after a week has passed.

The automatic backup copy contains all system databases and files for the system database.

Prompt whether automatic backup is to be performed: Select this if you want to be asked whether an automatic backup should be taken when you close the program.

Include documents and pictures: If you uncheck the checkbox, the automatic backup copy will not include documents and images. By doing so, the backup process will take less time and the backup copy will take up less space. The setting pertains to backups created automatically when you close the program.
