How to Backup a Database
The Sierra management system allows the user to back-up the server database either to the D drive or to a flash drive for off-site storage. Database back-up files can be used to restore operation of the system in the event of a catastrophic event. To minimize the potential for lost sales data, regular back-ups should be performed, preferably on a flash drive. The software version, date and time of previously created back-ups are displayed on the Database Utility screen on the Sierra management system.
