Using Tools for maintenance tasks

Estimating Management Console Tools can help you safeguard your data. Use them to efficiently copy, back up, restore, merge and optimize databases in your Sage Estimating system.

To display the tools, click the [Tools] button in the Estimating Management Console.

Notes:  

  • You must run the Back Up and Restore processes from your server machine. These tools are not available when you use the Estimating Management Console on a workstation.
  • The Back Up, Restore, Merge, and Optimize processes lock out other users. To prevent a loss of data, ensure that no other users are working with the databases you plan to back up, restore, merge, or optimize.
  • You must indicate that you have exclusive use of the databases before you can back up, restore, merge or optimize databases.
