Yes, any time you back up the KeyList folder, it will back up.
You can also send it is an attachment for someone else.
Good luck with this.

Subject: Re: [Braillenote] keylist database creation
Thank you very much.
I have now succeeded in making a database for my credit and bank
accounts.
I filled in one card's information as a test and it worked just
fine. It
did require a little more fiddling with the definitions than
described in
the steps, but I figured out what I had to do and when there was
an error
in creating the database I went in and fixed the problems.
Now is there a way I can make a copy of the database definition
file to
share with anyone who would be interested in using it? I also
would like
to backup my database, including data, in case I ever lose my
working copy.
Do I just backup the keylist folder? I don't want to have the
same problem
I had with the database I made a few years ago. There seems to
be more to
keylist database creation and maintenance than just keeping the
two files
that are the definition file and the actual database file that
contains
your records, so I don't know what the extra step to restore
these files to
working order might be. If dumping the files back in the folder
worked
than I shouldn't have had to redo the database at all I would
think, so I
must have done something wrong, or passing databases between
versions
doesn't work automatically.
