Database Backup
The Homeless Shelter CSDB provides a way to conveniently back up your database. From the super user account, select "Admin / Database Backup":
You are then presented with some backup options. The Drop Table option is useful should you need to restore an entire database. The zip option compresses the backup file into the popular zip format, greatly reducing the size of the backup file.
When you click "Run Backup", the system will create the backup file and allow you to store the file on your computer. The default file name has the format "dbname_yymmdd" (year, month, day).
Note that after clicking "Run Backup", the button will be disabled. To re-enable the button, simply select "Admin / Database Backup" again.
