Sorry, forgive the previous errant send... here's the complete post: I followed the path within the database's preferences and the checkbox for "Structure File" is checked off. However, the only files produced by 4D during the backup process are the 4BL and 4BK files. My only thought is that the 4BK file contains the structure file. We are running v15 R5 but the database itself has been around for a very long time; 15+ years. Perhaps this is legacy behavior that is due to database's age/history? I will try experimenting with a restore on an offline machine. If I am missing the structure file and can't restore that would be a problem. I seriously don't think there's a problem. We have restored to offline machines for testing in the past but that was many software releases ago. Any thoughts are appreciated. Sandor Szatmari Senior Software Developer Bristol Capital Inc. - InfoPlus 201 746 7215 www.infoplusonline.com There is a checkbox in Backup -> Configuration called “Structure File”. Check that box and it will backup the .4DB file. You might also consider adding to the “Attachments” area the .4Dindy file, “Components” folder, “Plugins” folder, and “Resources” folder to the backup. That gives you a complete snapshot of what it takes to restore a 4D structure file. You need all these pieces.
