Backup Fixed Assets to Disk

Menu Path: System Administration > All > Backups to Disk > Backup Fixed Assets to Disk

System Administration's Backup Fixed Assets to Disc option enables you to save a copy of all tables used to store Fixed Assets records. This data is saved to a predefined directory location on your server.

Running a backup enables you to restore your records to their original state if you run a particular process and experience unsatisfactory results. The procedure for restoring a saved backup file depends on the type of database engine you use. Database restoration procedures are handled by your system administrator.

Backing up your database requires all users to remain out of the system from the time the backup is run until any processes you are running have been verified as successful.
