The Acctivate Database Maintenance program contains many useful features for managing your database like back ups, info, and verifying.
The Acctivate Database Maintenance utility is designed to manage the Acctivate company list, connection to the database server, and enable users to create a new backup or restore an existing backup file.
Database Maintenance is located on the Windows Start menu, in the Acctivate folder. You can open Database Maintenance by selecting Start > All Programs > Acctivate > Database Maintenance.
The Database Maintenance utility contains four main functions:
- Backup / Restore
- This can be accessed by selecting Database > Backup/Restore. If the “Backup” option is selected, users can create a snapshot of the SQL Server database in a folder on your server. If the “Restore” options is selected, users can overwrite their current Acctivate company data with the data stored in a previously created backup (.bkf) file.
