System > Configure > Remote Link > Database Tab > B ackup Options

As a safety measure, it is always wise to create a backup of your database. Remote Link provides you

with the option to backup your database on a regular basis. A reminder will appear to remind you to

backup your database.

Click on the Options button to open the Backup Options window.

Note: When using Link with SQL Server, all backup and repair operations must be performed

by the database administrator, using SQL Server management tools. Remote Link does not

perform these operations.

Backup Location: Enter the location where you want the Backup Database to reside. For example, C:

\Backup tells Remote Link to place the Backup database in the Backup folder on the C drive of your

computer.

You may also browse for the folder where you would like to place your Remote Link Backup Database.

To browse for the location where you wish to place the database, click on the button with three small

dots just to the right of the Database Location field.

When the database resides on a network server, check with your System Administrator. The backup

function cannot be performed for a database that resides on a server.

You may choose to have Remote Link remind you when it is time to backup your database. Click the

"Remind me to backup after" checkbox. Then enter the number of days you would like between

backup reminders.

Click OK when finished entering in all of the fields. You may also click Backup to run the backup

immediately or at any time to run a non-scheduled backup.

When it is time for a scheduled backup, a pop-up window will appear when it is time to backup the

database. If you select Yes the pop-up window closes and opens the Backup Options dialog box. Click

the Backup button to perform the scheduled Backup.

If you select No, another pop-up window will appear the next time you log on to Remote Link.

Note: Only the System Administrator can backup the Remote Link Database. If an operator

with a authority level lower is logged on when a backup reminder message is displayed, the

operator is prompted to contact the System Administrator.
