Techniques

The following techniques can improve the process involving model backup and restore:

Develop schedules for Backup/Restore and consolidate requirements for multiple teams.
If family ancestry is not important, consider other options like download with the upload option.
Perform an image copy the encyclopedia prior to running the Restore function.
Since the encyclopedia database is in utility status during the Restore, consider closing down the encyclopedia or running the Restore during a non-peak time.
Use Backup for inactive models to reduce DASD requirements.
