Backup Data File (Copying a Data File)
Before altering a Data File in any way, it is good practice to make a
back-up copy of the Data File. Frozen files cannot be edited; therefore,
a backup copy must be created on which to perform any editing. The
backup copy of the Data file keeps track of the file from which a
record was copied (parent file). This creates an electronic trail of the
record.
1. Click the Data File tab on the menu bar to view the Data
Management page. Click on the Data Management File field and
a Data File dialog box appears which lists available Data files. To
select the file, click on the name of the file.
2. Click Open.
3. Click the Backup Data File button to view the BackUp Data File
save dialog.
4. Enter the new desired file name (backup copy) into the File name:
field. You can stay in the same directory as the original or
navigate to another directory to save the file.
5. Click Save.
