I think that I follow what you are trying. Basically a backup and restore across multiple files. What I do it not to use the same names for the files. Exporting data from Person.fp5 into the file called PersonBU.fp5, then you can copy the PersonBU.fp5 and import back into Person.fp5 without worrying about the same names.

Ok, I understand but now how can I make the buttons, I need create a Script in all the DB to make import and export?? then a script in the master to make the import and export in all my DB (7)

I have a Backup button this create a backup of all DB

You would create two scripts in each database, one for the export and one for the import. Then you would create a master script for import and one for export in the main database, which would then call all the scripts in the other databases.
