  • Backup or Export????????

    I've always been a bit confused on this issue. I used the "backup" function when I store ftm files on a thumb drive. When I use a BU HD I use the "export" function. I'd like to use just one. Which should I be using and what is the difference?


    thanks

    Drag and drop the databases it is far safer.

      Thanks Guy, but why is it dangerous to use the embedded BU function's.

        Without getting too technical.
        Any backup created by a proprietry program can only be read by that program.
        If a fault occurs it is very likely the data will not be able to be read.

        Generic files can be read by many programs therefore there is more chance data can be recovered if the original program is lost.
