# 数据库备份

硬盘有价，数据无价，尤其是随着 EndNote 数据库的文献越来越多，更要注意数据库的备份。备份不仅仅是图书馆，有时还有其他一些重要的文件

EndNote 数据库一般是由一个 ENL 文件和相应的 DATA 文件夹组成，因此备份数据库时，一定同时备份这两个

可以使用操作系统的复制命令，备份数据库，也可以使用 EndNote 自身的备份为压缩数据库的方式备份，参阅[备份 EndNote 文件](https://app.gitbook.com/s/-LrgCHEEK5wsSALfCziF/Appendices/backing_up_your_EN_files.htm)了解更多信息

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://kb.howsci.com/backups/back-up-your-libraries.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
