Manual HDB Backup Using a Macro

Scenario
You want to make a backup of the HDB database using the predefined system macro.

  1. In System Browser, select Application View.
  2. Select Applications > Logics > Macros > Backups > Backup History.
  3. Ensure that the macro is Enabled. If not, then enable the macro by clicking the Enable button.
  4. In the Operation tab, click Execute.
  1. The system begins backing up the HDB database. The default backup location is [installation drive:]\GMSBackups. Although the Last Execution Status indicates Succeeded, it only means that the macro started successfully, it is not a confirmation that a backup was created successfully.
    To ensure if the backup is created successfully, check the backup destination folder to verify the created [Project Name].bak file.
