Backup

To back up your entire database to a single file, click the "Backup Database" button. The file name will contain the current date and time and will have a .sql extension. You can download this file to your computer using Admin->View->Files.

FARMDATA does not currently support automatic database restoration from backup files. Contact your system administrator.

Configure

• The first section of this page allows you to configure which FARMDATA modules you wish to use. By default, all modules are selected. Uncheck any modules that you don't wish to use.
• The second section of this page allows you to select whether you will seed and transplant by the bed foot or by the bed. If you always plant only one crop in each bed and can accept some imprecision in the number of bed feet planted to a crop, select "Bed". Otherwise, select "Bed Foot". To clarify, a bed is the planting space between two pathways. If you measured off 100 feet of length on one bed, this equals 100 bed feet. Planting data will be recorded in bed feet, and crop yield figures will be reported in units of crop harvested per bed foot.
• The third section of this page allows you to enter some basic information for emailing invoices. If you don't plan to use the invoicing features of FARMDATA, leave this section blank.
• Click "Submit" to complete configuration.
