To Backup TATEMS Data:

In order to save and backup your data, you
need to make a backup copy of a file
called tatems2005be.mdb.

This is the file that contains all
the data you entered into the program.

This file is in the folder

C:\Program Files\TATEMS 2005\

The program needs to be closed whenever
you backup or restore this file.

If you ever have to reinstall the program,
you will need to restore this file back
into it's folder after reinstalling in
order to work with the backed up data.

A couple of additional things need to
be addressed here. There is a Backup
and Compact feature in TATEMS under

Tools->Backup and Compact.

You can see this feature in action if you go to

http://tatems.com/movies

then click on the "Backup and Compact data" link

The Backup and Compact feature only allows
you to backup the data to the same folder
where the data file is housed.

So if the data file is in

C:\Program Files\TATEMS 2005\

then the backup file will be created in that folder.

The backup file will be Date/Time stamped
within the actual file name. It will look something
like this.

tatems2005be7-19-2006-09-12.mdb

The 7-19-2006 is the date part and
the 09-12 is the time part in 24 hour time (9:12AM).

This can be useful if you want to go back
to a "point in time" backup to see where some
mistake was made or something went wrong.

These "point in time" backups and any backups
for that matter should be moved off the hard
drive to a CR-R, a Zip drive, USB drive or
memory card for safe keeping.

The "point in time" backups should also be
moved off your hard drive because they can
quickly start taking up space, especially if
you do them on a daily basis.

You can always link to a point in time backup
by using the Networking Tool in TATEMS.

Under: Tools->Networking. This will allow
you to see what's in a file without having
to rename it.

Regardless of which approach you use to backup
your data, you should do it on a daily basis.
