SE v2.1.3 Network Plus database utilities need to be updated (Windows)

Note: If you downloaded the SE v2.1.3 Network Plus update after 10/5/2009, you do not need to install new database utilities — as of 10/5/2009, the new database utilities are included in the SE software update.

Operating System: Windows

SE Version: SE v2.1.3 Network Plus

Symptoms: The manual and scheduled backup features do not work in the original database utilities for the Windows version of SE Network Plus v2.1.3. This applies to both SE district-server licenses and SE school-server licenses.

Solution:
You must download a new database utilities program by performing these steps:

  1. Click one of the following links to download a new database utilities program:
  2. Unzip the file and replace the existing database utilities file with the new one. The default location is \Program Files\RNSENetworkPlus\RNSEServer\ and the file name is either rnse_DBUtilities_d (district server) or rnse_DBUtilities_s (school server).
  3. Start the new database utilities program, log in, and verify that it creates a backup file that is greater than 1 KB in size.
  4. Set up scheduled backups. Backing up your data regularly is the most reliable way to ensure that you can recover data if problems occur.
