Backing Up Your Database

Backing up your Vantagepoint database may be the most important maintenance task that you perform during a normal processing cycle. Maintaining a routine of daily (or even more frequent) database backups can minimize the need to re-enter data lost due to unforeseen circumstances.

You should also back up your database prior to processing certain types of transactions, specifically transaction postings and key conversions, because these transactions update your database.
