This might be a dumb question, but is taking a backup of a live database simply a matter of copying the file to a backup device/drive?
Yes. It's a regular file to your OS. As a matter of fact, you can copy the file to another name and open that other name to see the same tables and data as with the original. That's how I keep a backup of the database I'm developing.
And restoring it a matter of copying it back?
Yes.
I am using Windows with NTFS drives.
Works there, too. Rich -- Richard B.
