Backing Up Resources

You may want to back up your resources from time to time as a security measure.

Important! When you restore, the entire contents of your resources will be wiped clean and only the contents of the backup file will be accessible in the product. This includes any open work.

Note: You can only backup and restore to the same major version of your software. For example, if you backup from version 15, you cannot restore that backup to version 16.

To Back Up the Resources

1. From the menus, choose Resources > Backup Tools > Backup Resources. The Backup dialog box opens.
2. Enter a name for your backup file and click Save. The dialog box closes, and the backup file is created.

To Restore the Resources

1. From the menus, choose Resources > Backup Tools > Restore Resources. An alert warns you that restoring will overwrite the current contents of your database.
2. Click Yes to proceed. The dialog box opens.
3. Select the backup file you want to restore and click Open. The dialog box closes, and resources are restored in the application.
