I am doing hourly backup with no problems even though the database size is 2.7 Gigs + I first copy all RX1...Rx1 in a folder in the same directory which is tremendously fast and then from there I move to another Drive so My database files are always in sync I do not folow the Unload all except weekly I do this I close down the database by changing the .dat file which users use to connect and copy the rx files to my laptop and do the unload and load and copy the rebuilt file to the main directory of the server

I was going to use the Encryption option for the Unload ALL but the user still needs the password to run the file (as far as I know). So, I guess I need to make a codelocked file to Run the output file to hide the Unload All password. I thought about using Reload but I run my app with Staticdb On, so that is not an option. RBase gives us so many cool options it is hard to decide which is the best route to take.

I popup a Pause 3 with a gauge, Authochk, then Unload All and I noticed that if I am in a form it stops me from using the form which is OK. Will this cause a problem if I am running some big command block with several Updates or printing monthly statements when this fires? Thanks Marc
