Copying a database dictionary

You can make copies of your database dictionary for backup purposes or to create another file with similar dictionary definitions.

When you copy a database dictionary, you have the option to copy the record only or the record and all individual data records contained in the file. If you copy the database dictionary and all associated records, data in the original file is inaccessible during the copy process. The amount of time it takes to copy the file and records will vary depending on how many records are in the original file.
