Thanks Bert, I have not had a chance to look at the new backups yet. I became somewhat suspicious since it has changed from saving 3 files to 1 file, and the one .enc file is smaller (better compression, I suspect). I did not see any reference to skipping images and imports when I copied the backups.
I am currently playing with syncing my 2 databases (from different offices) on 2 home computers to see if I can create one database. Might not work (didn't work in V3) but it was worth aa try. Didn't complete the project yet, hopefully over the weekend. I will post the results when I finish playing.
