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 need to run the Backup and Restore processes from your server machine. These tools are not available when you use the Estimating Management Console on a workstation.
  • The Backup, 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 need to indicate that you have exclusive use of the databases before you can back up, restore, merge or optimize databases.
