Backup Database ???

[chadsdavis]

I am about to upgrade to Beta 17 from Beta 15.
How do I backup my database on PT3 before making the upgrade?
I don't see a "backup up my database" option anywhere.
If someone can help me please explain IN DETAIL...as I am an idiot in regards to this stuff.....and a lot of other stuff as well :)

Thanks

Also....
How do I get the database entered back into BETA 17 when I get it installed?
Thanks

Although a backup is never a bad idea, to upgrade PT3 versions you don't actually need to backup and restore your database.
If you just install PT3 over the top it will continue to use your existing databases and configuration.
Download and install PT3.
