If a hard reset is performed, or if your battery dies, all of the data in the
"Database Manager" is lost. Thus, it is very important that you create a
backup file every time you make a change to the Database file. To go to
"Backup Database", open the menu by pressing “Alt”. Use “up arrow button”
or “down arrow button”, to locate "Backup Database". Press "Enter". You can
also press "u" from the menu to get to "Backup Database". Or, press "Enter-
u" to activate this function directly.
If you already have a backup file, you are prompted, "Backup changes? Yes".
If you have made any changes to your database file, press "Enter" to create
a new backup file. To keep the previous backup file, press "Space", to
navigate to "No", and press "Enter" on it. When you create a backup file in
your "Database Manager", a new backup file with the extension SDF is
saved. The name of the backup file is "UserDatabase.sdf"

this function directly.
If you activate the "Restore Database" function, and you already have a
database file, you are prompted, "Database file already exists. Restore?
