Backing Up the Repository

  • Article

When you back up the component database, you should also back up the repositories that are used with that version of the component database. You can back up the repository folders to a network location, another folder on your computer, or to large capacity removable media. The repositories can be quite large, so if you if you are storing them on removable media, the backup may span multiple discs.

To back up the repository

  1. Locate your repository folders. For example, D:\Windows Embedded Data\Repositories.

  2. Open a backup utility. For example, in Windows XP Professional, from the Start menu, choose All Programs, choose Accessories, choose System Tools, and then choose Backup.

    You can also use other third-party backup utilities. These are often included with backup hardware or removable storage devices.

  3. Follow the instructions provided on screen or in your backup utility's documentation to back up the folders in the Repositories folder.
