for Goldmine.
Backing up your Goldmine installation
This general Goldmine
backup procedure applies to Goldmine version 6.5. Other
versions may vary. If this backup procedure does not match
your version of Goldmine, please
call Patty Cray at Multi-Link-303.831.1977
for assistance.
1. With Goldmine open, Select File>>Back-Up Databases.
2. Select Create a New Back-up
profile. Click Next.
3. Select the contact sets you wish to backup. If you are
not sure which contact set to select, select the one noted
in the System window mentioned above. Also, be sure to leave
the Backup-up Goldmine files (GMBase) option selected. It
is recommended you also leave the Back-up Setup Files (Net-Update
and BDEShare) option checked. Click Next.
4. Select the additional directories you wish to backup.
These are the directories that Goldmine uses to store file
attachments from e-mail, reports, MS Word templates that
are used by the Mail merge function, and any documents that
have been linked to your Goldmine database. These typically
reside in the GoldMine root directory indicated for System
Files in the System window mentioned at the beginning of
this document. Click Next.
5. Confirm your selections and click Next.
6. Enter or select a destination for the backup. This would
be a destination that you will be backing up with Multi-Link
online backup. (for example: C:\Special Backups).
7. If your want to save this Backup Profile (and not have
to go though all this every time), enter a Profile name
in the lower blank on this screen. Click Next.
8. All users must be logged out of Goldmine in order to
backup the database. If necessary, you can force users to
exit by selecting the Force all users to exit GoldMine within
X minutes and entering the number of minutes. Click Finish
to start the backup.
9. Be sure your Multi-Link offsite backup has the file or
folder/directory selected for backup.
