If you are ready, click Next.

Now the backup operation starts.
It should finish within a few minutes for even moderately sized databases.
After backup ended, a message appears in the backup window. Click Finish to acknowledge it.

| Do not forget to copy your database backup file to a safe place (e.g. to a DVD) !
Do it immediately after you performed a backup, otherwise it is pointless. |
