Secure your data
With halFILE's export feature (a halFILE for Windows tip)
In the Windows Program Manager, the halFILE Group includes an icon
'Import/Export Database'. Clicking this icon loads the system which
can export halFILE Image Database information to a comma-delimited file
or to a Microsoft Access database. It also includes a selection to
import information from an exported, comma-delimited file into an existing
or new halFILE Image Database. With this utility you can:
-
Export halFILE Image Database information to other programs or applications.
A comma-delimited file is a common format for the transfer of data and
is used by most database or file-oriented applications.
-
Export halFILE Image Database information as a backup to prevent loss of
data. With this utility, once you have nearly filled an optical disk
cartridge or CD Staging volume containing halFILE images, you can export
the database information for images on the cartridge. By placing
the comma-delimited files on the cartridge with the images, the cartridge
contains both images and the data that points to the images.
If a catastrophe struck your computer system, your database could be rebuilt
by importing these comma-delimited files back into your database.
See page 76 of the halFILE manual for Export steps.
