Data Backup and Restore
Backup Feature
Backing up your files creates a *.dat file. The file is automatically named default.dat (as shown in Case 1
below). If one already exists it is overwritten (as shown in Case 2). If more than two *.dat files exist in the
progdata folder, a file whose name is default.dat is created (shown in Case 3).
CAUTION! Release 4 will overwrite the default.dat file. This is different than previous Strata CIX/
CTX versions that will not overwrite an existing default.dat file.
