Do the CardAccess 3000 and CA4K databases get backed up automatically?
NO
There are a couple of ways to back up the databases. Do not use the SQL backup utility in the CardAccess 3000 or the CA4K software.
1) Detach and backup the physical databases using SQL server management studio or the CardAccess 3000 Database utilities. After detaching, copy the files off the computer and then reattach back in.
2) Backup up the databases using SQL Management studio.
Note : You must manually perform the backup using the SQL Express Management studio. If you have the Full version of SQL, you can schedule automated backups using the SQL management studio utility. Using this method, you will be backing up a database to a .bak file.
