So far this has worked. No need to disconnect databases or reset paths. I did create a dummy practice but I am not sure that is necessary. I am restoring imported items from my usual offline backup source. The .enc file without imported items is a lot smaller, less than a gigabyte. I don't doubt it will work fine with the restored imported items. I think I can use AC backup with the smaller size of the .enc file. There is an option on the Utilities program to delete backups older than 30 days and I think I can manage to do that. The size of the .enc file is small enought that I can have it go across the internet with encrypted offsite backup.
