See steps 1 to 4 below to perform a Database backup.

2a. Server Configuration Backup (method 1):

The Server Configuration file contains the settings for the TRBOnet Server. These TRBOnet server settings are for the components (functions/features) in the Configuration pane (in the tree view, except for the License).

The Export/Import features are used if the Server configuration settings won't load automatically, or, to import them if the application is being migrated to another PC.

2c. Server Configuration Backup(method 3):

Another alternative to saving your Server configuration is by copying the .config files via the TRBOnet application interface (see steps 1 to 4 below) or copying the files directly via Windows Explorer (C:\ProgramData\Neocom Software\TRBOnet.Enterprise OR C:\ProgramData\Neocom Software\TRBOnet Plus).

This method is NOT RECOMMENDED in TRBOnet versions with the Export\Import Configuration functions.


See steps below:

1. Select View Log Entries

2. Select Open Log Folder

3. Copy and save the TRBOnet.xxxx.Console.config file

These TRBOnet Dispatch Console settings are for visualization parameters (such as PTT box size, panes, tabs etc.), audio settings for PTT box, maps settings (visible\invisible object on map, favorite map), etc.


Your Dispatch Console configuration must be saved in order to reload (or recover) it to the newer version of the application.
Select Export Options… to save your Dispatch Console configuration.
Select Import Options… to reload (or recover) your Dispatch Console configuration.
The Export/Import features are used if the Dispatch Console configuration settings won't load automatically, or, to import them if the application is being migrated to another PC.
