Spire refers to this as a "Snapshot" in order to distinguish it from
a "Backup":
- a "Backup" is the process of copying files from your server
to a safe location offsite.
- a "Snapshot" is just a compressed copy of your database that
initially resides on your server.
You must have Spire Server Admin rights to be able to copy a
Snapshot of your databases.
From within Spire, select Tools, Server Administration
You will be presented with a logon screen. Enter your Spire
username and password
Click on Snapshots on the left side.
You will see listed all the Snapshots that are available.
When you hover your mouse over one of them, the Snapshot filename
will turn into a link. Click on the link and the Snapshot file will
download in your browser.
From there, it is an easy matter to copy it from your Windows
Downloads folder to wherever you wish.
