Understand 2.0 projects contain a lot more user provided information than 1.4 projects. Things like Architecture, Snapshots, Metrics comparison data, and Maintenance estimates take effort to create and would hurt if lost.
I urge you to back up your Understand 2.0 databases regularly, especially if you are using any of the above features. A simple copy will do, and the copied database will compress.
In B450 we have introduced a Project Scheduler. It can be used to automatically update project files, project parses and build snapshots. In the the next build or two we will add Understand database back up to this scheduler. Longer term we plan to also have reports, metrics updates and script/script set runs scheduled as well.
