04/04 Chapter 42 Backing up your database 609
When you click Backup, if the application detects another backup file at your
selected destination, a message with a description of the existing file appears. If
you want to overwrite the existing file, click Yes. If you're rotating disk sets (see
page 606), make certain that you don't overwrite your most recent backup.
Unless you used floppy disks, a message appears when the backup is complete,
asking if you would like to verify your backup. We recommend that you click
Yes. This will ensure that your backup is complete and that it is restorable.
If you are saving your backup files to removable media (zip disk or floppy disks),
make certain to label your backup and store it in a safe place.
Important:
Do not change the backup file name. The restore process requires the
backup filename, FSCBCKUP.001 .
Restoring your database
If you need to restore your database, before you start, make certain that you have
the most recent backup on hand. If you backed up to floppy disks, make certain
that you have the complete backup set and that they are in order.
Important:
The restore process requires exclusive access to the library database.
Please make sure that no other Follett programs are running on any
library workstation and that Z39.50 Server and WebCollection Plus
are stopped.
To restore your database from a backup file, if you haven't already, start Backup
and Restore (see page 607), and click the Restore tab:
If you support multiple databases, make
certain you're restoring the right one.
To locate your backup file, click the Browse
button, then locate and select the file you
want. The filename must be FSCBCKUP.001 .
Once you've selected a valid backup file,
the Restore button is enabled. Click it to
start the restore process.
To restore your database, simply follow the steps on the Restore tab.
The file you select must be named
FSCBCKUP.001 . If the filename is incorrect, or
if the backup wasn't created using Follett Software's Backup and Restore, an
error message appears. Click OK and locate the correct file.
