SME v1.6 Enterprise Local Server Installation Guide Updating Stand-Alone Workstations to SME v1.6 149
Backing Up the Existing Database Folder
Pearson Digital Learning recommends that you make a backup copy of your
database and log file, and save them to another location (other than where
your current SuccessMaker Enterprise installation resides) before you
update to SuccessMaker Enterprise v1.6.
To back up your database, complete the following steps:
1. Log on to the stand-alone workstation as a user with
administrative rights.
2. Create a folder where you want to save the backup files. You can
create the folder on any local drive. For example, you can create
the folder C:\Backup\SMEDatabase.
3. On your taskbar, click Start, and then click Run.
4. Type the following command line in the Run dialog box:
Driveletter:\ResultsManager\SuccessMaker\Livebackup\
Livebackup X Y
In the command line:
Driveletter is the drive where the SuccessMaker Enterprise system
is installed.
X is the ODBC data source name of your SuccessMaker Enterprise
database. SME is the default.
Y is the path name of the folder you created.
The following is an example of a complete command line:
C:\ResultsManager\SuccessMaker\Livebackup\Livebackup
SME C:\Backup\SMEDatabase
5. You must now stop the database service. Go to the next section.
