Exporting records to another iteration of the same Filemaker 11 Pro database.

[Inasmuch]

I have an active database file on my desktop to which I add records every week.  I maintain an identical database on an external hard drive which I maintain as a cumulative backup of all records.  I want to periodically move recently added records from my active database to the archived database, which I keep offsite for protection (except when I am transferring records).  Is there a way to do this FileMaker-to-Filemaker records transfer?

Your archive file could have references to your working file and you can import records from the working file once you isolated the new records. The other method is exporting data and then importing the the data.
