Creating a New Database
A 'new' database --i.e. one that contains only default objects --
can be generated by touching the Create
button.
Generating a new database will COMPLETELY OVERWRITE whatever
database is currently loaded!
Backing Up the Database
To make a backup copy of the database, touch the
Backup button. You will
be prompted with a dialog to allow you to choose a location to save
the resulting backup.
Restoring the Database from a Backup
To restore a previous backup, touch the
Restore button. You will
be prompted with a dialog to allow you to choose a location whence
to load the back file.
Restoring a previous database will COMPLETELY OVERWRITE whatever
database is currently loaded!
