The records live on the laboratory computer. A disk failure or a deleted file is not something we can rebuild from our side. The backup tool is how you keep a second copy.
Automatic backup
Open System, Database backup. Automatic backup saves a new encrypted copy on a schedule. The program has to be open at the chosen time. You can choose daily, weekly or monthly. Weekly asks for a weekday. Monthly asks for a day from 1 to 28, so February still runs. The suggested time is 21:00 until you change it. You type a folder path, or you choose a folder.
A copy you download
Download backup saves one encrypted .wdlr file of the whole database: patients, orders, results, accounts, settings and the licence. On the desktop program that file goes to the Downloads folder.
Restore
Choose a .wdlr file and click Restore backup. This replaces the current database, and you sign in again. Restore only a file this program created. If you might still need the records that are on the computer now, download a backup before you restore.
The program does not have its own Google Drive or OneDrive button. If the folder you choose is one that your own sync tool already copies, that copy is yours to manage.
