It�s essential to make a backup of your database whenever you�ve made changes to any of your specimen records. The backup process compresses your data and places it in a special format which can be used by the Restore database operation.  Backing up a database is straightforward. Use the Data Manager utility or the backup option located in the File menu of The Compleat Botanica software.

 

Problems with backing up a database

If you see this message, when attempting to backup a database, it�s a signal indicating that the ODBC entry is no longer valid. You�ll probably have to use the ODBC Manager utility to correct the situation before backing up.

This may occur if you�ve reinstalled the Microsoft SQL Server Database Engine after creating this database.
