Project Backup

If a database upgrade is needed when a project is opened, the option to backup/copy the project database is provided.

  1. It is recommended that the database be backed up prior to the upgrade process. Click the Backup Database button and navigate to the location of the saved file.

  2. To proceed with the database upgrade, select the check box to continue and click Yes.

To create a project backup at any time:

  1. Click the File tab to open the backstage menu: Click Backup to create a project/model backup.

    Alternatively, right click the project name at the top of the Project Explorer tree and select Project Backup.

  1. Choose whether to save a full (or light) version of your model.

    Default options (nothing selected on) will create a full backup of the model. Removing items from the database will reduce the size of the backup and may be requested by Micromine Support to assist with model transfer (Solids and Triangulations take up a significant portion of most models).
