[SHARING] Backing up Reportcaster
We've just started using Reportcaster 7.7 on Derby (Windows 2008) after using Reportcaster 7.6.x on FOCUS (Windows 2003) for years.

We used to make a backup copy of the FOCUS files daily, and had in the past just replaced the .FOC files such as BOTDEST and BOTSCHED when they became corrupted, which wasn't often.

Is there any way to backup/restore the new Derby database?

Hi Jason,

Suggestion from our internals: If you are already running backups on your system, now just make sure it’s being covered as well.
If not, it may be a good time to check out some of the backup software programs available on the market and start backing it all up.

At a lower level, check the Derby documentation

Cheers,
