Using the Backup button

The Backup button on Maintenance screen is the easiest way to backup Saleculator database. You can do a full backup or partial backup depending on the purpose. Doing a full backup might take several minutes depending on the volume of data. A partial backup is used when you want to backup only selected tables. You can choose the tables for partial backup in SQL.BackupTables resource.
