- It is crucial that you backup GymMaster regularly as you never know
when you may be hit with a hard drive failure or problems such as
damage, fire, earthquake etc
- The backup function is found under GymMaster on the top tool bar >
Tools > Backup database to file. You can choose which file to send
the backup to.
- Doing a backup to a backup file will cover you for restoring data
if you get corrupted files on GymMaster from a crash, power surge
etc. But it will not help if you lose the hard drive that contains
the backup.
- It is sound practice to have an off site backup. The easiest way is
to use a USB Drive. Plug the USB drive (a 1 GB drive is a good size)
into your USB port. Then do a backup as above, directing the file
to the drive. Keep the USB off site. You may also like to alternate
2 differnt USBs in case one is lost or damaged.
- Tresna can arrange offsite backups for you on its servers for a fee.
- GymMaster will give you a reminder every 20 days if the backup function
has not been used, but you should be backing up at least daily.
