Manage Service Setup

The first time you use the Backup and Restore Utility, you need to set up the database where the information for the scheduled backups will be stored.

1. To open the Service Setup window go to the Tools > Service Setup menu option.

2. In the Service Setup window:

• Server - This field displays the server that was chosen at login.  If this is not the server you expected please log out and log back in making sure that you choose the correct server instance.
• Database  - Select the database you would like to use, to save the schedule backup information from the drop-down list.  Please note that if you intend to use the homepage control to track the status of your backups; this should be the CCH Central database.

3. When you are satisfied with the server and database information click OK to create the services.

4. Click Yes to proceed.
   As soon as the services are created the window closes.
