>Thanks - it works fine from within the app. On other thing - do I need to include the dbc file in the zip or can I just include dbf and cdx files to ensure a full ability to restore data

I'd add the dbc stuff to a separate zip file myself. The process takes no time at all for a hundred meg of data. I'm doing about 9 of these at one time.

This process saves your butt when there is a problem with a tape, as well as getting open tables backed up.
