How can I backup a database?

32-bit version::

  1. Close the database you wish to back up.
  2. Go to the File menu.
  3. Choose Database Operations.
  4. Choose PKZip Database.
Once you have zipped the database, you can use File|Database Operations|Delete Database or the File|Find option to delete the original full-size database. When you want to retrieve the database, use File|Database Operations|UnZip Database.

The Help buttons in those screens will show you important information on both zipping and unzipping files.

16-bit version:

You can make another copy of a database’s contents by exporting it to a different name or a different drive and directory.

  1. Select File|Export Addresses.
  2. Pick Envelope Manager format.
  3. Input the name and location of the database you want to create at the Target Database field. Click OK to begin the export.
The new copy will have the same records but new index files, different record numbers, and none of your deleted records.
