Tools & Options - Backup/Restore Database
The Cube-IQ database is the complete set of files in the 'data' folder, which in a standard installation is a sub-folder inside the main installation folder.
It is a good idea to make periodic backups of your whole database.
In the Main Menu, choose Data / Options, or in the Ribbon Bar, select the Options tab. Select the Database Options.
Select Backup Database, which will open the Windows Save dialog. Here you can select path and name for the file into which Cube-IQ will zip your whole database.
To restore a previously created backup, choose the Restore button. This will show the Windows Open File dialog. You can select the zip-file of an earlier backup to restore the database. Keep in mind that the restore operation will completely overwrite your existing database.
