I was under the assumption that a DBC was a pretty normal fox table. I know you can USE it and browse it, etc. But just how do you make a backup of it - assuming that it's in use and you can't copy it directly.

I've tried using the DBC as a table and issuing COPY TO testfile.DBC WITH CDX FOR !DELETED(). At first glance this looks fine, but if you remove the original database and rename the testfile.DBC to the original name, bad things happen. It usually responds with Not a Database File.

Any idea how I can accomplish this?

Thanks for any help!
