Data Backup
Backup Locations
The Medmont Studio 6 database is by default stored in an all users accessible data folder called
Data. In a default installation this will be:
%allusersprofile%\Medmont\Medmont Studio 6\Data.
On Windows 7 this path resolves to:
C:\ProgramData\Medmont\Medmont Studio 6\Data
Do not confuse this Data directory with the data directory belonging to an earlier
Version 3 Medmont Studio that was usually located at C:\Program
Files\Medmont\Data.
At installation this folder can be assigned to any computer in the practice network, to any disk on that computer, and to any folder path on that disk. However, clicking on
Start > Medmont > Medmont Studio Administrator Tool will display the dialog in Figure 70,
and this will list the database location in the Data Location field.

Initiating a Backup
No matter what Medmont configuration you have installed, all copies of Medmont Studio must be stopped before initiating a backup. For a stand-alone system this is easy, but for a server system you will need to stop the Medmont server using the Server Manager.

Figure 71. Medmont Studio Server Manager.
The Server Manager icon will be present in the desktop tray of the network server computer.
Double click on this icon to display the Studio Server Manager dialog shown in Figure 71. The
Active Sessions entry will show if any clients are running Medmont Studio. Click the Refresh button if the Manager has been running. You can choose from two options.
1. Find the machine(s) currently running Medmont Studio to ensure no one is using it, shut it down, and then come back and click the Stop Medmont Studio Server button, or
2.
Click the Stop Medmont Studio Server button.
The effect of clicking this button on connected clients is to disconnect them from the server with no mechanism to reconnect other than re-starting, so the second option has the potential for data loss if the computer is currently in use. Avoiding this situation is a company procedures issue, where either a certain time is set-aside for backup or it happens after hours.
The more usual effect of stopping the server is, of course, to prevent clients starting Medmont
Studio. If they try they will see the message shown in Figure 72 and Studio will refuse to start.

Once the server is stopped you can proceed with your backup procedure. If necessary, click the
Compact and Repair button on the Administrator tool (see Figure 70) for occasional database
management.
