Hi! I have installed NAV 5.0 SP1 in my company, but with native DB, not SQL. How do automatic backup, but as a backup BKF can not use the hotcopy because I do not have space. Thank you

    Hi Sonia,

    Technically it can be done (with sendkeys and a timer) but I would not recommend it. I would think that getting extra storage space would be a lot easier and safer. What size is the database?

    Use hotcopy and then run a script which archive copied file.

    ExpandIT has a NAV backup scheduler. I have not used it myself but heard it works well.
