RVS Mosaics

Backing Up RVS
The first step in the data transfer process is to create a Transfer Files Backup of your database. To start, you will navigate to Start -> Backup Data.

First, you will select the option for Transfer Files Backup Type.
Second, you will click Browse and navigate to where you are wanting to save your backup files.
Third, you will click Start Backup to start the backup process.

A transfer files backup will generate two separate .ZIP files: FullBU.ZIP and RVS Win.ZIP. The first file is the actual backup of your RVSData directory. This may take some time depending on the size of your database and data directory. As such, it is highly recommended to run the backup process on your computer that hosts the database locally, if possible. The second file is a backup of your program settings and should generate almost instantly.

It is very important to note that once you have made a transfer files backup you should not work in the program again on any machine until the database has been restored on its new host computer, as this will cause the backup to be out of date.
