The nitty gritty of backups and database copies involve two main menu options accessible from the File menu.
See the screenshot below for details on what the option Save a Copy does versus the Backup option. They're pretty close, just depends on how you want to organize your files.
The Backup option takes more time to restore from as it extracts compressed .CAB files.
The Save a Copy option Save a Copy launches a screen (see below), where you can name the file to be created. It then saves an .sai (database index file) and an .saj (database contents folder) to the folder location you specified.
*Note: If you select to Save a Copy to your desktop, beware because doing so enough will eventually flood your desktop with loads of files that can slow down your machine due to the processing of the icon images.
The Backup option The Backup option launches an alternate screen which looks like the below. Change the file name and select a location to place the compressed .CAB file generated (which contains the .sai and .saj files).
