4.9. Backup and Restore

FrontBase allows you to backup a complete database to flat files. It allows you to restore content data from ASCII flat files directly into your database. FrontBase can even backup a "live" database.
You should backup critical databases on a regular basis to protect from loss due to hardware failures, lost files, or other catastrophes. You will also need to backup when moving your FrontBase databases to a new server or when sending them to FrontBase for diagnosis.
