Database Management: How to Backup and Restore Your Pairs Database
Your database of pairs is held in your PC's Documents/PairtradeFinder folder.
If you wish to back it up, you need to copy these two files into a new directory and rename them:
- ptfProDatabase.mdf file
- ptfProDatabase_log.ldf file
These can then be restored at any time by changing their names back to the above names and copying them back in to Documents/PairtradeFinder and replacing any existing database, which will be overwritten.
Any issues, please contact support@pairtradefinder.com
