Backup the Database and Run Database

System operators are trained by Nicolet to back up the
database on a scheduled basis as part of their routine
maintenance procedure. Verify a recent backup has been
done, or perform this procedure before starting any
service work on the system.

OK. The Database Utilities screen opens.

An alert window opens, asking you to make
sure the database is not in use. Click on OK
to close the caution window.

for the backup file. The database backup
folder on the C: drive is C:\Nicolet\Npa.

for the backup file. We recommend you use
the date as a file name (e.g., Sept 3 2004).
