Backup

You can backup the Complete Time Tracking database as a preventative measure to reduce data loss or to perform maintenance of the server computer such as upgrading or re-installing the operating system or changing server computers. We recommend that you regularly backup your database.

Backup of the server databases can be performed using the Server Manager program. If you use the Offline Time Tracking feature then backup of the offline databases can be performed using Windows file copy or third party backup software. The location of the offline database files is displayed in the General Program Options.

Note: The Server Manager program is only installed on the server computer and should be run by the Windows administrator user.

We recommend that you keep the default .RBK filename extension as this will help when you need to locate a backup file to restore.

The database is saved into a file in a compressed format. This file can be used to restore the database at a later time.
