Backing up BACtalk job data

Backing up a BACtalk job creates a zip file of all job information, which can be
restored later if necessary. If you are upgrading from an earlier version and will
install Envision for BACtalk v2.6 on a new computer, use the Backup utility to
move existing job files to the new computer. You can copy the zip file to the
appropriate media, and then use the Restore utility on the new computer. See
“Restoring a BACtalk job” on page 37 for more information.

If you have upgraded the job from a previous version of BACtalk or have
successfully merged another job into this one using the Restore BACtalk Job
Utility and restarted Envision for BACtalk, you may safely remove the unused
files prior to backing up the job to save backup time and disk space. For a list of
files you may safely remove see the following knowledge base article on the
Alerton Support Network (ASN): White paper 08-0061-01-00

Note The Backup utility cannot span multiple disks. If you have a large job,
back up to the hard drive, and then write the zip file(s) to the appropriate media.

X To back up a BACtalk job

1. Start BACtalk operator workstation software and log in.

2. From Device Manager, select all devices, and then save all device data
to disk.
N o t e Choosing to save trendlog data may take a long time.

3. If you are backing up a BACtalk for Windows v3.1x job, on the

BACtalk menu, point to Backup, and then click Backup Job.
