Backing Up the Management Software
Periodically you should backup your Management
Software to protect your data from accidental loss in
the event of a PC failure.
Before beginning a backup, ensure that you have
enough diskettes, or other media, to accommodate
your backup data. Due to the large size of the
database files that are backed up, it is recommended
that backups be to a CD or tape drive.
All files that should be backed up have a .mbd
extension, and are located in the installation directory.
The default installation directory is listed below:
C:\Program Files\Advantech\Whirlpool
Advantech\DB-Report.
1. Select Start, Programs, Windows Explorer.
2. Navigate to the default installation directory for
the Management Software, unless you specified
a different location at the time of install.
3. On the right side of the screen select all files with
an .mbd extension.
Hint:
To select multiple files, press the
[Ctrl] key while
selecting the .mbd files.
4. Select Edit, Copy from the menu.
5. Single-click on the drive letter to which you wish
to backup your data. For example, if you are
backing up to a floppy disk, single-click on the
3 ½ Floppy (A:) drive.
6. Select Edit, Paste from the menu.
