PERFORMING REGULAR DATABASE BACKUPS

It is always important to backup your data regularly. 

The Data Export wizard can be used as an adhoc backup tool.  However, for regular backups it is recommended to use the backup functionality that comes with your database software.  This way the entire database can be backed-up, rather than just the data that it contains.  Also, a database backup can generally be scheduled so that it occurs automatically. 

The method of scheduling a regular backup will vary depending on what database software you use, and on what version or edition of that software.  Please refer to the documentation that comes with your database software for further information on how to set up regular backups of your database (i.e. the documentation that comes with Microsoft SQL Server or with MySQL).
