It is strongly recommended that the SQL databases are backed up before running the utility IN ALL CASES. ePrint Direct cannot accept any responsibility for any loss of data. By proceeding with the backup, you agree that you will ensure the databases have been securely backed up before running this utility.
To run a manual backup:

| 2. | On the PC where the database is located, start the SQL Server Management Studio. |
| 1. | The server name should be set to the name and instance of the SQL Server used by Skyline |
| 2. | Make sure that the authentication is set to Windows Authentication. This documentation only refers to a SQL Server that allows you to authenticate with Windows Authentication. If this is not possible, then you will need to seek assistance from a local Database Administrator. |
| 3. | Click Connect. |
| 3. | Expand the Databases node to see the Skyline database. |
| 1. | Right click the Skyline database and select Tasks > Backup. |

| 3. | Click OK to continue. |
| 7. | You return to the Select Backup Destination window. |
