Data Maintenance
Depending on usage (such as loading data many times in a single day), the number of data might increase
drastically. In such a case, it might be difficult just to find the desired data. In addition, there is a possibility of
losing valuable data caused by an unexpected trouble of the PC.
To prepare for such unexpected events, a periodical backup of the data is recommended.
4-1. Details of data storage structure
Data is stored in the folder specified by "Start in" in the Properties tab of the shortcut created at installation.
1) File name: FI8000.mdb
File type: Microsoft Jet 3.6 database file
2) File name: Data
File type: Folder Trend data files are organized under year/month folders
4-2. Backup
Although it depends on usage, we recommend the data to be copied to another hard disk device or an auxiliary
storage device (such as an MO drive or CD-R drive).
To restore data, copy it to the folder specified by "Start in" in the Properties tab of the shortcut created at
installation. The program searches for data on startup and the data will be available to view.
