Creating Backups of Your Database 

Marauder 3's database is self repairing and has been designed to withstand improper program termination.  Regardless, it is wise to make periodic backups of your database. Its a very quick act and the database backup does not take much disk space.

Backup procedure:

  • Compress database content from DB into a file.
  • Copy file to storage media.
Example:
  • ZIP -r9 DB970101.ZIP DB
  • COPY DB970101.ZIP G:\
  • ERASE DB970101.ZIP
The M3 database files compress very well, typical compressing around 50-90%.  This makes a 100M ZIP diskette suitable for storing 4 to 18 backups of a 100,000 image collection database.
