Some of our people have used the backup command in the past. Perhaps this is what you 
were asking about.   I recommend against it. Simply copy the database files to your 
zip disk.

You will probably want to use the autochk command on the database prior to making a 
copy.

The reason I recommend against using the backup command is, over 15+ years we have 
almost never had a database go bad and lose data. We have lost a number of backups. 
People get confused about what is in the backup. etc.
