Which database types can I use with Meet Manager and what is the best choice for me?
Meet Manager can be run using a Firebird (FDB) or MS Access (MDB) database. If you work with Firebird databases, right now the "embedded engine" is used. This engine allows only database files on local hard drives and not in a network. There will be a way to connect to a database server in the final version. MS Access database files can be placed on a network drive.
Does multiuser access work with Meet Manager?
You can access the same Meet Manager database from different computers through a network. However, we highly recommend to do changes in the event structure (sessions, events and agegroups) in single usermode only.
What is the recommended method to backup my data?
All settings are kept in the meet database. There is no backup/restore function. Just save a copy of the .MDB (or .FDB) file which contains all the data. All settings can be imported and exported individually. In the "Setup" menu there is a function, which allows you to import settings from another meet.
