Using the Database Extractor Utility

Several SQL databases should be included among the databases backed up as part of your daily backup routine. The Database Extractor Utility creates a file with a .bak extension that can be included with other critical files that your third-party backup software captures. Using the utility, you can specify the location where the .bak file is saved, as well as the number of archived backup files that are maintained. The utility also enables you to restore a .bak file.

All users must be logged out of SoftDent before you can run this utility.

This process does not back up your data. It creates a .bak file of the SQL databases so that it can be backed up by your third-party backup program. Consult your local computer technician for information about using a backup program.
