When you choose to store analysis information in a standard database or Synthesis file (available only in Versions 10, 11 and 2018), you can use tools that are built in to the ReliaSoft applications to back up and compact/repair the database when needed. It is important to note that each standard database will be subject to the same limitations and vulnerabilities as any other file that uses the Microsoft Access database file format. Therefore, we recommend that you:
- Create backups regularly.
- Compact and repair regularly.
- Do not store the database in a shared network location if you suspect that your network connection and/or hardware may be unreliable.
- Do not allow the file size of the database to grow too large.
For more details and specific instructions for using the standard database maintenance tools that are built in to ReliaSoft applications, open any of the application help files and navigate to Databases and Projects > Managing and Restoring Data > Backups & Database Maintenance. (Or click here to see the topic in the Weibull++ help file...)
