Backups must be made while the Data Source is connected. Specify a folder to store the backup and click the Backup push button.

 

Backup will automatically create folders up to one level deep as required. In other words, given the following example, as long as C:\Users\canscale\Documents exists the Backup folder will be created.

 

 

Existing backups are over-written

 

If a folder contains a previous backup, the previous backup will be over-written without prompting the user to confirm whether the back should be over-written.

 

Prompting users to backup

 

Dispatch will automatically ask a user to create a backup when a Data Source is disconnected. For example, when you Exit Dispatch, the user can be prompted to create a backup of the Data Source.
