BACKING UP THE TRAKA TOUCH DATABASE
The database holds all the information Traka needs to operate including the users, items, and event history. Traka Touch
is supplied with an SD card to store database backups. The live database is stored on the flash disk. If the database is
not backed up regularly and the machine fails for any reason you will have to start over again.
An admin user will need to log into the system. For further details on how to access the system please refer to the
‘Accessing the System’ section.
1.
Click the Admin button.
2.
Click the Data button.
3.
Click the Tools button from the bottom right hand side of the screen.
There are two backup options you can choose from:
i.
Backup Database to SD Card
ii.
Backup Database to USB
And there are two options that allow you to minimise the size of your database.
i.
Shrink Database - Shrinks space in the database by moving empty and unallocated data. Shrinking
does not create a temporary database file.
ii.
Compact Database - Compacts wasted space in the database by creating a new database file from the
existing file and permanently deleting data that has been deleted in Traka Touch e.g. user records.
