Creating backups with external storage

[argwallace]

Hello,

 

I have a solution that creates a backup copy of the file when it is closed which can later be used for importing into an empty file. My only concern about the data and this backup scheme is what happens to external storage data. I know when I import data from its current location, it brings in the external storage data too. However, when a copy has been save, must I also copy that data folder to the backup location. I am assuming this is the case but wanted to consult other developers.

 

Thanks!

This sounds like a standalone file, not hosted on FMS.

 

To have a good backup you do need to also copy the remote data, FMS does this automatically but if your file is not hosted then then is something that you need to take care of.
