the configuration is pretty simple. Open the database, go to: Database settings : Backup : Configure turn on the check box(es) you want to be backed up and add any additional file(s) you want set your destination, and schedule.
the .4BK file obtains whatever is supposed to be backed up. The 4BL is a log file, and I assume tells 4D what is supposed to be in the 4BK film and how large. To restore: Open 4D Fiel menu : Restore Select 4BK to restore, and select a destination wait if, as default, structure and data are included you will have a functional database, and structure.
