Standalone DB backup solution question

Thanks. That is certainly true. I suppose I just wanted to know if I'd overlooked something obvious (eg. "that clearly won't work because the .sqdb file is only one part, and there are many other files in memory that recording an instance would need" etc) and at least without those comments I can proceed to the testing knowing at least there's a possibility.

DAvid's Big Book of data processing says only one thing on page one:

 

IT IS NOT A BACKUP UNTIL YOU HAVE TESTED THE RESTORE

 

So, your solution is ok, BUT until you have moved the file to another empty P6 installation, and been able to open your projects, it does not count as a backup......
