You can confirm that the backup was completed.

 

To confirm the backup file was created:

 

1.At the R> Prompt, type "F:" and press [Enter].

 

The R:BASE working directory changes to the root F: drive.

 

2.At the R> Prompt, type "CHDIR Backup" and press [Enter].

 

The R:BASE working directory changes to the F:\Backup folder.

 

2.At the R> Prompt, type "DIR" and press [Enter].

 

R:BASE displays a line of information for each file in the folder. Each line lists the date and the time the file was created, its size in bytes, and file name. The number of bytes for the backup file is relatively large because the backup file contains the information stored in each of the four database files.
