Before launching the import wizard, a dialog will appear asking if you wish to take a database snapshot before importing your data.  (For more information see the topic on database snapshots).  A database snapshot will make a temporary copy of your database as it is before importing any data. Should a problem occur during the import process, you will be able to revert to the snapshot of your database which will contain the original database prior to import.

 

NOTE: The database snapshot will be saved to the same directory containing the database you are taking a snapshot of.  If you do not wish to save the snapshot to this directory, you should cancel the import process and manually perform a database snapshot to save to an alternative directory.  See the topic on database snapshot for more help.
