{{Note | Because the geodatabase is built on a per-client basis, it is also recommended to launch the client on the server to fully update the geodatabase prior to backing it up. }}

<li>In the IMSMA Backup window, click the [[Image:DestDir.png]] button next to the Destination Directory field. The Open window displays.</li>
* Navigate to the folder to which you would like to save the backup files.
* Select a secure folder where there is enough space for the backup.
* To store the backup on the same computer as the database is on, it is '''not''' a secure place.
* Click the ''Open'' button. The name of the folder displays in the Destination Directory field. </li>
<li>In the ''Include in addition to IMSMA Database'' section of the Backup window, check the checkbox ([[Image:CheckedBoxIcon.png]]) next to each item to back up. If you do not check any items, only the IMSMA database and the attachments will be backed up. See the following table for a description of the type of information that is backed up with each file.</li>

|-
| GIS Database || All the GIS data such as map symbols and their locations that appear in the map displayMap pane. It is recommended to include this in the backup so the receiver of the backup does not need to rebuild the sandbox. The files are located in the ''C:\IMSMAng\client\gis\sandbox\[active map]\map'' folder.
|-
| Map Data || All the files that builds up the background map of the '''active''' map display will be backup. The files are located in the ''C:\IMSMAng\server\gis\maps\[active map]'' folder. If there is sub-theme assignments also ''C:\IMSMAng\client\conf\UserPrefs.props prop''s will be included.
|-

|-
| Report Template || iReport templates that were saved in the ''C:\IMSMAng\iReport\ireport\templates'' folder.
