Not quite correct...

When you create a backup using ALT-B, or the backup timer expires, it's written
to your DX4WIN installation directory (not the SAVE directory) as DX4WIN.DXB. 
If there was previously a DX4WIN.DXB there, it is first renamed to DX4WIN.~XB

Similarly, when you save a log using ALT-S, if there was previously a
<CALL>.DXL file there, that file is first renamed to <CALL>.~XL.  This is the
file that I think Terry was thinking of.
