You should make a habit of creating daily or weekly backups of your Server data.  Be sure to backup this data to a different physical device.  If you are using a dedicated server, it may include software that will automatically backup SQL data.  This Backup and Restore function primarily for use if you want change the machine where the SI 5 Server is installed.

Backup Server

When you click [Backup Server], you will be prompted to verify that you have checked in all projects and that all user are logged out of SI 5:

Note: Your path may vary depending on your machine. For example, if you are using a 64-bit OS your path may need to be changed to Program Files (x86) or if you already had another instance running on your SQL server you may need to point to MSSQL.2 etc.

Manage -> Administration Users

This is where you can Add, Delete and Edit users that can have access to the SI 5 Administration Console.  These logins are completely separate from the User logins that you create for your staff.
