DATABASE BACKUPS ARE VITALLY IMPORTANT.  YOUR DATABASE IS NOT BACKED UP FOR YOU.

Database Backup

The database backup tab allows you to save a copy of your database down to your computer, where you can back it up to a flash drive or other backup device.

Before the database can be backed up, it need to be prepared with the Prepare Database tab.  Once that is complete, you can choose the Save Database button, which will prompt you for a location to save your database file.

Database Restore

The database restore option will restore a database backup up via the database backup tab.  The restore database button will prompt you to select a database file which is stored on your computer.  THE RESTORE OPTION WILL OVERWRITE YOUR CURRENT DATABASE WITH YOUR CHOSEN BACKUP.  THIS IS NOT REVERSIBLE.
