Backup and Restore allows you to make a backup of your existing database or restore an already saved database.

It is recommended to do a daily backup in case of any software failure or any corruption caused to the database. You can choose to backup just the State data or the Historic Data or both by selecting the appropriate check-boxes at the bottom of the form.

While restoring to an older database, it is always advised to make a copy of the existing database in case you want to return to the present changes.

For more information about cleaning up Laguna Site Backups, please refer to Central System Options below.

TIP: You can schedule an automatic backup in Scheduled Tasks in case of any software failure or any corruption caused to the database by user error.
