Note: This post only applies to the Legacy database!
I am running our database on an USB flash drive. When backing up I have been backing up to the flash drive. I realize that if I lost the USB then I would be in big trouble so I tried to back it up to my home PC (just in case). It is telling me that I cannot back up the USB to the C drive? I was wondering if there was something I could do just in case I lost the USB or it became corrupted that would be able to retrieve later on??
...I backed up to the C drive to approved workman and it backs up but when I try to open it, it won't.?? Saying doesn't know how to open. I am really confused! I just want it backed up so that if lost, I can retrieve.
Thanks.

Don't write the backup file to the root of the C: drive, instead create a "AWdb Backups" folder or select a folder under your Documents folder. Once the backup file is created, you can't just open it like you can say a Word doc or a picture. It can only be restored using the approvedworkman.exe file.
Please review the User Guide for details about the backup and restore utility.
