Click on backup to make a local backup of your MISTRO Farm 5 data.  Click the drop down arrow under backup destination to choose the drive to backup to.  (Please note that most computers will not support CD burning “on the fly”.  If you want to backup to a CD you will normally have to backup to your hard drive first, and then burn the backup file to a CD.  Consult your CD burner documentation for a full list of its specifications and capabilities.)

Once you have chosen your drive to backup to, you can also choose to put your backup into a folder on that drive.  Locate the folder on the list below your drive letter and double click on it to open it.

You can choose to backup either just your database, or the whole program.  To just backup the database tick the box provided

When you are happy with your backup choices press the Start Backup button.  Your progress will be reported in the large white window to the right, with a progress indicator also showing along the bottom of the window.  When your backup is finished the right window will display a message “Backup operation complete!”
