FAM stand-alone users, have you backed up your FAM database lately?
  1. From the Tools menu select Tools/Utilities/ Database/Backup.  A screen will appear which suggests a name and location for the backup file.  You can change both the name and destination for the file by pressing the (  ) button next to the file name. 
  2. Take note where the backup file will be created and click OK to create the file.
  3. Open Windows Explorer, browse to the location where the backup file was created and copy the newly created backup file to a safe place (off the stand-alone machine). 

Now you are able to restore your FAM data any time you need it.
