You can backup your database file, manually using the "Backup Database"
function. You may also backup your database file automatically by using the
"Set Backup Options". To activate the "Set Backup Options" function, press
“Alt” to open the menu. Press “down arrow button” or “up arrow button”
repeatedly to move to "Set Backup Option". Press "Enter". Or, press "e" from
the menu to go to "Set Backup Option". You can also activate the function
directly by pressing "Ctrl-e".
The "Backup Options" dialog has three controls: "Backup mode" radio button,
a "Confirm" button, and a "Cancel" button. Move among the controls by
pressing “Tab” or "shift-tab". To switch among the radio buttons, press “up
arrow button”, "Backspace", “down arrow button”, or "Space".
The "Backup mode" has three radio buttons: "Manual backup", "Always
backup changes when exiting", and "prompt to backup changes when
exiting".
1. If you select the "Manual backup", it does not create a new backup file
even if there are changes in the database. In this case, you can only create
a new backup file by using the "Backup Database" menu.
2. If you select the "Always backup changes when exiting", a new backup file
is automatically created on exit if you modify or add to the database.
3. If you select the "Prompt to backup changes when exiting", if you have
modified or added to the database, you are prompted, "Backup changes?
Yes" when you exit the "Database Manager". If you press "Enter" on "Yes", it
automatically creates a new backup file and exits the "Database Manager". If
you press “down arrow button” once and press "Enter" on "No", it exits
without creating a new backup file.
To change the backup mode, press "Enter" after focusing on one of the three
radio buttons. Or, press "Enter" on "Confirm" after moving to it by pressing
“Tab”. The default backup mode is set to "Prompt to backup changes when
exiting".
