Automating SQL database backups

Automating SQL database backups

Because Forecast 5 is not yet a cloud solution and currently uses an SQL database to store your forecasts on either your local PC or server, it is important that you arrange for your SQL database to be backed up.

If you use the standard local database, your forecasts are being stored C:\ProgramData\Forecast 5 Ltd\Data.
You can either backup this folder or backup the database using the instructions below.

Here is a link to Microsoft's website on how to schedule back ups so you can arrange for this. 

If you have IT people, they would be the best to set this up as they will then be able to recover and restore your database.
