ebase consists of 29 files - all the files in the ebase directory
which end in .103. If you were saving a copy of each of them using
Save a Copy As..., you were making an adequate backup. It's easier to
do that using the system's copy function, though - the Mac's Finder,
or Windows Explorer.

Open it and try it. Make sure, though, that you open all the files.
Easiest way to do that is to use the Admin screen function to Set to
Multi-user. This incidentally opens all the files and you will see if
any are damaged.

It's likely that you were saving a copy of only the names file, and
it won't work by itself. Sorry, but it sounds like you don't have a
backup.
