20.6 Setting up a shared database in a network
To create a database on a network, proceed as follows:
• Create a new database in the Organize database window using the
command New database ( see Section 20.2 «Setting up a new
database»).
• Enter a network path as the path for the database. It is irrelevant
whether a drive is connected to the corresponding network drive
or not.
• Enter a name for the new database and press OK.
In order to access the network database from another computer, connect
the database in Organize database using the Connect database command
( see Section 20.4 «Connecting an existing database»). For the
database path enter the same path as when the database was generated.
20.7 Backing up the database
It is worthwhile regularly backing up the database on a diskette or other
standard storage medium. Keep the backup diskette in a safe place. In this
way if there is a fault on the hard disk or any data loss for other reasons,
irreplaceable data can be reloaded.
If the database is larger than the storage capacity of a diskette, export
the database on to the hard disk and carry out the backup from there
using a standard backup program. If you are working in a network, save
your data on the server. Backup will then be carried out according to
your server backup system.
1. If you have opened a recipe, save it.
2. Click on Database in the File menu and on Backup in the selection
field. The Export backup database window appears.
3. In the field File name enter the name under which the database
should be exported.
4. Select the drive and the directory to which the backup file should
be exported.
5. Click on Save. The information window Export backup database
appears and the backup file is exported.
