During the installation, if the BioPharma Finder installer determines that there is enough space on your system, it automatically backs up your current database and other files to the drive :\ProgramData\ThermoScientific\ folder for
BioPharma Finder-related files. In this case, the installer automatically performs the following:
1. Creates a new BioPharma Finder build version _backup_ date-and-time folder under the ThermoScientific folder, for example:
3.1.56.0_backup_2018_12_20_1418
2. Moves the BioPharma and Databases folders down one level below the new backup folder.
If the installer determines that there is not enough space for the automatic backup, a message prompts you to proceed with one of the following:
• Delete files on your system to free storage space and then click Retry to retry the automatic backup.
• Stop the Thermo BioPharma Data service if it is running, manually copy your database to another location, restart the service, and then click Continue to continue the installation without the automatic backup.
–or–
• Click Cancel to cancel the installation.
If the installer automatically backs up your data, you can retrieve the backed-up database and files later on if needed.
To retrieve your automatically backed-up data
1. Choose Start > Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Services to open the Services window.
2. Stop the service Thermo BioPharma Data Service if it is running.
3. Go to the drive :\ProgramData\ThermoScientific\ folder on your system.
4. Save the current BioPharma and Databases folders to a different location.
5. Move the backed-up BioPharma and Databases folders under the build version _backup_ date-and-time folder up one level to their original location.
6. Start the service Thermo BioPharma Data Service .
