[Health] GNUHealth back-up

[Yusif Suleiman]

Dear All,

While working with gnuhealth on a laboratory for production, we decided to back-up the data.

I followed the documentation on Wiki Control Center, in order to back up my db before going to the production Dbase, and I have these errors.

Someone should please help me. 'Desktop' is directory for saving the backup, and 'UCHealth' is the name of the database on my system.

Secondly, it was very easy to generate invoice on Demo database, but I try to generate an invoice on my installed database I couldn't. Maybe I miss a step.

looking forward for your support.

Regards.
