[DXBase] Restore backup mbd file

Thu, 23 Jan 2003 13:16:37 -0600

As part of backup/restore you should also remember 'refdata.mdb'.

I make it a practice to copy n5in.mdb and refdata.mdb to another machine
regularly, and it has saved me a heap of trouble!

I like the USB Drives to do this.  I have a 128MB USB Drive, cost about
$75.00, which is more than adequate, but I store other valuable back up on
it as well.  It's tiny, would fit on a key chain, although I just drop it in
my pocket.
