Note:
With Always create database backup copy on the
General tab of the Options , you can additionally cre-
ate a backup copy of the database with the suf fi x .bak
on each program exit. If necessary, you can recopy
this
fi le.
Apart from this, you should save the data generated to
external data carriers (e.g. CD-ROM) at regular time
intervals. In addition to the quick restoring of the set-
ting in the case of a possible computer failure, this
method gives the opportunity to create a library for dif-
ferent inspections which can be loaded as required.
We recommend the Windows Backup tool for for the
data backup.
It is absolutely necessary that you also make a back-
up of your data prior to any software updates. Please
observe the special information on this.
You should always make a backup of the following fi le:
UltraLog.mdb

Note:
In order to reduce the volume of the database as far
as possible and to make access as quick as possible,
it’s advisable to compress the database at regular in-
tervals. Unnecessary entries are deleted during this
process, and the data are reorganized.
