You will need to zip the MS Access Based Globodox DB to take its backup.

You will need to take a backup of...
The Master DB i.e. the MainDB.gxdb
And all your Globodox DBs

For each Globodox DB, you must also backup it's linked folder which contains the System Folder and the documents and their cache files, by zipping it.

All the above files and folders are usually located in the 'C:\Globodox Databases' folder

In the below example we are backing up the MainDB

To Backup a MS Access based Globodox DB

1.	Make sure Globodox is not running.

2.	Open the folder where Globodox Databases are located. This is usually the C:\Globodox Databases folder.

3.	Locate the MainDB.gxdb file (i.e. the DB that you want to back-up) and zip it.

4.	Locate the MainDB folder (This is the DB's linked folder which contains the documents) and zip it.

5.	Locate the MainDB_cache file and zip it

Open the the ITAZ\Globodox folder created under the folder designated as the Common Application Data folder in your Windows installation.
For Windows Vista/Windows 2008/Windows 7, this will be the C:\ProgramData\ITAZ\Globodox folder.
For Windows 2000/XP/2003 this will be C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ITAZ\Globodox

7.	Locate the multi-user.gdx file and zip it.

8.	Now, copy these backed up files to a secure location. Follow the same steps to back-up other DB's.
