Manually Back Up an SQL Server Desktop Engine
Database to a File
Notes: These procedures apply to Dell Precision 340 Workstation platforms with an
SQL Server Desktop Engine database ONLY (not the Microsoft SQL Server
2000 database). You cannot configure the B.A.S.I.S. Backup utility to
automatically back the database up to a file. This procedure must be done
manually.
If Windows Backup is configured to automatically back the database up to a
tape drive, then this manual back up of the SQL Server Desktop Engine
database to file must be performed prior to the time that Windows Backup is
scheduled to back the file up to tape.
Before conducting the backup, make sure that there is a tape in the drive that is
labeled and is of a supported media format for the drive that you are using.
1. Click the Windows Start button, then select Programs > B.A.S.I.S. ET >
Database Backup.
2. The Database Backup window displays. Click [Connect] and connect to the
AccessControl database.
3. Verify the Backup radio button is selected in the Database operation section.
4. Select the File radio button in the To/From section and then select the tape
drive device in the drop-down list. Click [Browse] and navigate to
C:\Program Files\B.A.S.I.S.\database_backup.
5. Name this file AccessControl Backup. Click [Save].
6. Verify the Overwrite backup set radio button is selected and click [Run].
7. Click [OK] after the database is successfully backed up.
8. Exit the Database Backup application.
