Back-Up Data File
Backed up InterAgri program files are compressed and given the same name as
the data file with the extension .zip. These are not standard WinZip files, and
can only be restored via File ... Restore .To
begin the back-up procedure, insert a formatted diskette in the disk drive and
click the Proceed button.
- Checking this
check box will result in all existing files being erased.
- Compacts the
data file before it is backed-up. This should be done periodically but is not
necessarily on a routine basis.
Note: |
- Any earlier back-up files for the
current data file will be overwritten automatically. It is recommended
that you take regular back-ups and maintain at least two sets of
back-up files, so you are backing up to the least recent set. Also be
sure to store your back-up files in a secure place, away from the
computer
- InterAgri programs can prompt users to
make back-ups at specified intervals. This is set in the System
options
- If the back-up requires more than one
diskette, you will be prompted to insert the next diskette(s). Where
multiple diskettes are required you will be prompted to re-insert the
first diskette again as the last operation in the back-up procedure.
This is to record on that diskette the total diskettes involved.
- If you ever need to send data via
e-mail, back-up files are the most efficient method. Attach all the
backup files to the e-mail message. These can then be restored by the
recipient. The restore command does not require the back-up files to
be on diskettes
