Hi, I'm trying to back up my database to a separate hd. I followed the faq but I don't know what type of file I'm supposed back it up to. Windows XP

Thanks

You just wanna make a backup? Or you want to move your DB to another drive?

Sorry about the delay. Yeah, I'm trying backup my database to a separate hd in case my primary fails. Anyway I followed the instructions on the first link, but when I gets to part choose where I want to put the back up, I can't figure out how to save it a folder.

BTW, the second link doesn't work

Thanks

Just give a name to your backup file and select to folder to save it.

I have edited the link which doesn't worked.

lol I got it now. Can't believe I forgot to name the file. I went brain dead for a bit there, apparently.

Thanks for all the help
