Viewing and editing a scheduled backup

DT Practice creates a scheduled backup of your firm’s database as a Windows Scheduled Task. If you have created scheduled backups using the
Scheduled Backups
 dialog (Setup > System Configuration > Scheduled Backup), you can view and edit the scheduled backup information.
  1. From the Windows Start menu, choose Control Panel.
  2. In the Control Panel dialog, double-click Scheduled Tasks.
    note
    If your Control Panel displays in Category View, select the Switch to Classic View link to see the Scheduled Tasks icon.
  3. The task appears in the following format:
    PCSBackup_YourDatabaseServerName_YourSQLInstance_YourPracticeCSDatabaseName
  4. Right-click the task and choose
    Properties
     from the context menu.
  5. Go to the Task tab of the dialog that opens. The database that will be backed up appears in the
    Run
     field.
  6. You can use the Task, Schedule, Settings, and Security tabs to control the settings for the scheduled tasks.
    Do not rename the task, or you will lose the ability to edit the task through DT Practice.
  7. When finished, select
    OK
     to close the dialog.
