TIRA - Repair, Compact and Backup
After a period of time database files can become bloated, or corrupted due to system failures etc, TIRA has a built-in facility to help correct such problems. Under the Administration's tab users should select the ribbon button labelled compact repair and backup.

TIRA will then offer the user a yes or no option box explaining briefly the process that is about to be attempted. The user then has the option whether to proceed or cancel.

If the user selects yes TIRA were then given a short message explaining what will happen next, this includes closing all open forms and reports prior to attempting to repair, compress and backup the data file.

TIRA then gives a short message indicating whether or not the operation was successful or not, and informs the user where a copy of the repaired, compressed and and backup file can be located.


The date and time the backup was made is recorded in the backup mask - "TIRABkp - YY-MM-DD HH-MM"
