[Dxbase] Database backups

Mon Mar 31 13:43:47 EST 2008

Folks,
>From time to time, we seem to get covered up with a rash of emails which all 
go something like, "my computer crashed and I can't find my registration 
file, or my old DXbase software for installation".
Also, from time to time, we have posted reminders here on the reflector 
stressing the importance of having the DXbase software and registration 
safeguarded. We also mention this in the installation instructions and also 
in the registration instructions that we send out. Unfortunately, since we 
continue to get these kinds of emails, I am once again compelled to just say 
it bluntly again in the hope that anyone who has not taken the advice, will 
spend the five minutes to safeguard there DXbase software.
If you have a computer crash, and you are using an old version of DXbase, 
there is nothing we can do to help you with your lost files. So, if you 
have not already done so, copy your registration file to a CD or floppy and 
then put the floppy or CD in a safe place somewhere so that you can find it 
when you need it.
Best wishes,
Jack
