Managing the Database

The NerveCenter database does not require much maintenance, whether your database is a Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft Access database on Windows or flat files on UNIX. You can view information about the database as well as statistics about the information it contains, back up and restore the database, and transfer the contents of one database to another.
