Backup on a specific date

deepblue

hello!!

Is there any possibilty to make a backup of the database on a previous date? I mean to backup all the entries of the three last years for example.

thank you!

No that is not possible. When you run a backup it creates a backup of the current state of he database.

Only way to do something like that is if you run SQL, and use the log files.

Just a wild idea, but if you are a developer, could you develope a routine that would simulate an upgrade, I am not a developer, so I don't know, but during an upgrade you have to covert data from one version and then import it into the new version, maybe you could make your routine, pull the transactions for a date range and put them in a file. then make your restore routine, take those transactions in bring them back into a new company. although you are not upgrading versions, it seems there are tools available that could be used.

As and end user I would try to create a series of dataports that would take a date range, and then use the same dataport to import them again if I needed them, but without the developer license I could not create a dataport that could import to protected tables, but a developer could.
