What is the best way to make a test copy of the ManEx Database?
Windows will not copy a file if it is being used. So to make a duplicate of a ManEx database, All users must have exited the system. Then a copy of all files in the ManEx directory may be made.
First close the Trigger Timer, by depressing the Ctrl-Alt-Delete keys ALL at the same time. Then the End Task window will appear:
Have ALL users log off of the ManEx System.
Close the TrigTimer that is running on the server, by right clicking on it and selecting “Close.”
Open Windows Explorer. Find the directory in which ManEx is located. Highlight the ManEx folder.
Copy via Explorer.
Go to Root Directory on the Server C:, or whatever it may be set as.
Paste a Copy of ManEx to this directory.
Rename from Copy of ManEx to ManExTest.
Set up folder and shortcuts for the ManExTest, as you see fit for the end users.
