The AutoBackup feature of PetLinx makes backups of your database while you work. You can also do ad-hoc backups using the PetLinx Database Manager program as follows:
- Make sure everyone has quit out of PetLinx first. Then in Windows, open the Database Manager program by choosing the Start / PetLinx / Database Manager menu option, or by double-clicking the PetLinx Database Manager shortcut on your desktop. The program will open and the default option is set to Backup.
- Choose a location to backup the database to, by clicking Choose Backup Location… and selecting the disk and folder you wish to put the backup file in.
- Click Begin Backup to start the backup.
- A message will be displayed when the backup has completed. You can then exit the Database Manager, and go back into PetLinx.
Note: If using the Desktop Network edition, you will only be able to backup your database when running the Database Manager program on the computer or server that is hosting the database.
