Perform Backup

Perform Backup
 
Backup operations are performed from this window. Whilst MyCourts can be running when you make a backup, it is not the recommended procedure.
 
On a networked installation of MyCourts, the shared database is only backed by MyCourts Administrator running on the Server machine. In Standalone and Client installations, as well as the Server machine if there is one, the local database is backed up in addition to the application directory. It follows that you need to run the Backup function on all computers in a networked environment.
