I don't think transferring just the .fdb file is enough. There are other (albeit small) related files with the same file name but extensions like ppl, rc, rgd etc that I think change with changes in the .fdb file. So, for a 'manual copy' I suspect the safe and complete route is to create a backup zip file on computer 1 and restore it to computer 2.

Thanks for the replies, I have my Legacy paths the same on each computer, so media and restores aren't a problem. I prefer to do a manual transfer of data between the two, not really concerned with keeping them synched. I'm basically interested in just a transfer of changes data, not settings or customizations, etc. For speed and simple transfer of data, is it acceptable to just copy/past the .fdb file between my two computers?
