Can I Make my own Backup Copies of my database?

The following instructions are shown how to create personal backup copies of your Databases.

- MS Access

To Create backups of your MS Access Database, open a FTP Application and connect to ftp.fast2host.com with your FTP Login details. Download the DB Folder. This will then transfer the database to your chosen destination. If you have moved the Database away from the DB folder then you will need to make the appropriate changes to the folder you download.

- MS SQL 2005

You can use the online tool at http://95.128.129.75 to backup, download and restore your MS SQL 2005 databases.
