Backing Up/Rebuilding the System
O The Douglas County School District performs backups centrally for all of the media centers in the school system. Each media center utilizes Destiny 10.5, and the backups occur automatically. This is performed reliably at a district level for all of the media centers. It is not the duty of the media specialist in the Douglas County School System. However, if a need arises, the system can be backed up by the instructions on the next slide.
O Follett’s document titled Backing up your Destiny for Schools Application database, provides the following steps found at http://www.fsc.follett.com/_file/file/Backing-up-Destiny-for-Schools-Database.pdf to configure the backup program.
