What are recommendations for doing backups?

We recommend that you do a backup as often as possible. If you are running MobiControl v2.06 or earlier, you need to backup your File Store and your Database. If you are using MobiControl v3.00 or later, you only need to backup your Database. To backup your File Store simply use the Microsoft File Explorer to copy the contents of the File Store to a backup folder. To backup your Database, if you are using the lightweight Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) you may need to purchase a third party tool to backup your database. If you are running the full Microsoft SQL Server you can backup your database using the Backup tool provided with Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise Manager. Most Database backup tools provide an automated backup system so that your database will be automatically backed up at regular intervals.
