Backup reports or other data to a backup file

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The WhisperReporter Ascent system backs up data to a industry standard ZIP file. This file can then be saved to a network location or emailed or uploaded for another WhisperReporter Ascent user to restore.

 

Backup Options:

Current Report - Use this options to backup the currently opened report/template.

Multiple Reports - Allows you to select multiple reports for backup into a single backup file.  You do not have to restore all reports backed up (restore will present a list of the reports in the backup file that you can select to restore).

Full Database (all data) - Backup the entire database including reports, rapid remarks, picklists, etc.  Keep in mind that restoring a full database will completely replace your existing database with the database in the backup file.  A backup of a large database will split the backup into multiple files, 500MB each except for the last one.  Each file in the set will have the same name but with an extension such as z01, z02, etc, with one of then (the final one with the remaining data) having the zip extension.  If you copy the backup to another media, be sure to copy all of the files in the file set.
