How to make a Backup of the Requests Manager Database (Requests.MDB)?

The database where the requests reported by users (Requests.MDB) are stored is independent of the rest of the MP databases (* .m91), which means that this module can be installed either in the same computer where you installed the MP (network or single-user) or in any other computer within the same network or even on an Internet server. For these reasons, the database Requests.MDB is not available to make a backup through the database administrator and users, we recommend to do the following to make a backup of the database.
