A regular back up procedure adds protection for your database against computer or hard drive failure, viruses, file corruption, crime, or other errors. To provide the most protection, you should schedule regular backups and be sure to transfer your backup folder to a remote or removable storage device. With the UDA backup utility, you can schedule a daily or weekly backup to ensure that your data is always secure.
NOTE: Before you schedule a backup, ensure that you have created a folder on your computer to store the database backup. You can do this either on your Desktop or in a Windows folder by right-clicking in the area you would like to create a new folder and going to New > Folder. Name the folder and press the Enter key on your keyboard. This is the folder you will browse to in Step 5.
