How to Use the 'Backup & Restore' Feature with BioStar 2

From v.2.9.3 of BioStar 2, the function “Backup & Restore” has been introduced newly. Thanks to this new function, users can back up the necessary data on BioStar 2 more easily and conveniently.

Note: If you have an issue with this feature in BioStar 2 v2.9.4 or v2.9.5, please refer to the linked article below. https://support.supremainc.com/en/support/solutions/articles/24000088219

Until v.2.9.2, or lower versions, users needed to manually backup the necessary files, such as a database or enckey file, to prepare for any unexpected problems. However, this must be done manually, which may be cumbersome, and there is potential for issues during the backup, such as missing some mandatory files.

Note:
- If the MSSQL database and BioStar 2 are installed on different PCs, BioStar 2 System Backup and Restore CANNOT be used.
- If BioStar 2 version at the time of backup is different from the current version, the restoration will not proceed.
