When using Noah 4.10 or higher on a Noah workstation or client machine, the Database Administration, Tools, Backup function will give a message that you are backing up the local database, NOT the Noah server database.

When you are requesting a backup on a Noah client machine, you are in fact backing up the Noah Server database. The Noah database backup file is also stored on the Noah Server machine.
This misleading Backup message will be removed in a future release of Noah.
** Important: The Backup function is only available to Noah Administrator users; if you are a default Level 1 or Level 2 user, you will not have the option to Backup.
If there is a local database on the machine and you need a backup, log into Noah with the local database profile, go to the Console and Backup.
