System Link User’s Guide 17
If System Link does not start up correctly, one cause could be an invalid database location.
Use the command line option “/dblocation” to set the path to the database. Go to Start
> Run and type c:\Link\Link.exe /dblocation LOCATION.
In place of LOCATION, type:
• “c:\database path\” for a local or shared file server database
• server:192:168:0:111:12005 for a server based database where 192:168:0:11 is the
IP Address where the server database is located
Backup Options
Go to System > Configure > System Link to open the
System Link Configuration window. Click on the
Database tab and then click the Options button to open
the Backup Options window.
The Backup Options window has a field titled Backup Location and a browse button to
allow you to choose where to backup the database. You may enter the location where
System Link should backup the System Link database. For example, C:\Backup tells System
Link to backup the database to the Backup folder on the C:\ drive of your computer. To
browse for the location where you want System Link to backup the database, click the
button with three dots to the right of the Backup Location field.
When the database resides on a network server, check with your System Administrator.
The backup function cannot be performed for a database that resides on a Server.
Note: The location you enter in the Backup Location field must already exist. If you type
in a folder in the Backup Location field that does not exist, when you attempt to perform
a backup, you will receive a message reminding you to enter a valid location.
You may choose to have System Link remind you to perform a backup. In the Backup
Options window, click to select the Remind me to backup after checkbox and enter the
number of days you want between backup reminders. Leave this box empty to not receive
backup reminders. Once you have selected the Backup Location and your schedule for
backup reminders, click OK.
When a scheduled backup reminder appears, you may select Yes or No. If you select Yes,
the Backup Options window appears. Click the Backup key to perform the backup. If
you select No, System Link will display another reminder the next time you log in.
To perform a non-scheduled backup, click System > Configure > System Link, select
the Database tab, and click the Options button under Remote Options. When the
Backup Options window appears, click the Backup button.
Only operators with Administrator authority may perform a backup. If an operator with a
lower level of authority is logged in when a backup reminder displays, a message window
stating, “It is time to do a scheduled backup. Please see system administrator.”
