DATABASE BACKUP
Backing up databases is good practice. If anything ever goes wrong (computer crash, hard
disk failure, database corruption) you will have a backup for most of your work.
The data used by Scanshell.net is stored in database files, which are located by default in
the application root folder. To backup this data, you need to copy these files to another
location; either on the hard disk or on external media (recommended).
CREATING A BACKUP
1. Choose Database Backup from the File menu on the main screen. The Backup
Database screen will appear:

3. In the standard Windows Explorer window that will open, navigate to the directory
in which you want to keep the backup files.
4. Check/uncheck the desired backup options.
5. Click OK.
