Match the settings on your screen to the ones shown in the illustration above. This will allow you
to burn other files to the CD later if you so desire. When you are ready to burn the CD, click on
OK and put in a blank CD recordable when prompted. Make sure to label the CD so that you
know what it is and what date it was created on.
Backing up to a Zip drive
Using a new Zip disk every time you back up isn’t cost or space efficient. Having multiple copies
of your database is important, though, and there are two methods our users find most convenient.
Since multiple copies of an average database can fit on a single Zip disk, you can create a
separate folder for each working day on your Zip disk and place your database file in the
corresponding folder for that day’s backup. Some people prefer to use a separate disk for each
working day and label each accordingly.
Backing up to Separate Folders
First, label the Zip disk you will be using for your backups so it won’t be confused with other Zip
disks and insert it into the drive. Then, open up the Zip drive by double clicking on “My
Computer” on your desktop and then double clicking on the Zip drive. Once the Zip disk window
is open, click on the “File” menu on the top of the window, move your mouse over “New” and
select “Folder.” This will create a new folder on your Zip disk called “New Folder.” Notice how
the name of the folder is automatically highlighted. To rename the folder, simply type the name of
your first workday, for example Monday. Repeat the above steps to create a separate folder for
each day of the week on your Zip disk. After you’re done your Zip disk should look similar to the
illustration below.
To back up your data file, simply double click on the appropriate folder for the day in the Zip disk’s
window. Click on the “Edit” menu and then click “Paste.” This will paste the Furniture Wizard
data file that we copied earlier into the day’s folder. The computer may prompt you that a file
named Wiz_dat.mdb already exists in the directory, would you like to replace it. Since we are
simply updating our backups to be current, click on “Yes.” Your backup is complete. Repeat
steps 2 and 3 every day to insure your important company data is backed up.
Backing up to separate Zip disks
First, make sure you have a disk for every working day. Then, label them as backup disks and
put the name of the day on each disk. Insert the appropriate disk for that day in the drive.
Double click on “My Computer” on the desktop and then double click on the Zip drive. Click on
the “Edit” menu and then click “Paste.” This will paste the Furniture Wizard data file that we
copied earlier onto the day’s disk. The computer may prompt you that a file named Wiz_dat.mdb
