Creating backup files

We recommend that you create a backup file of your client-company database. Nevertheless, because most data in M3 SWB is acquired from the external file source, if no backup is available you can sometimes recover data by re-initiating a complete transfer from the external source.

Create backups in these ways:

Create a new version in the M3 SWB menu and establish it as your backup. Copy all data files from the original (or current) version to the backup version. This is also be useful if you must return to an earlier version because changes made to the current version have not been successful. A version that is used for backup is not a defense against a system failure or disk crash.
Copy the entire database to another computer workstation or to a disk, for example by using the Local Area Network (LAN). You must use a zip program to save disk place.
