IMPORTANT - YOUR DATABASE IS ONLY STORED ON YOUR COMPUTER.
ALLDATA DOES NOT KEEP A BACKUP COPY OF YOUR DATABASE.
Creating an External Database Backup
It is VERY important to have your database information backed up both internally and externally.
To backup your database internally (on your computer), see Setting Backup Options.
