Database Backup and Restore

There are two databases that store your Amicus data (Events, Files, People, Preferences, etc.):

Amicus—Core database, for records and settings
AmicusMedia—Media database, for People pictures and Graphics Custom Fields data—and also Bill Images if you use Amicus Billing

Backups can be performed from a menu command in Amicus. You can also schedule regular backups to be performed automatically by configuring the auto-backup feature. Alternatively, use SQL Management Studio to back up the Amicus and AmicusMedia databases.

To restore databases, use SQL Management Studio.
