In v4, is there a SQL statement to backup a C/S database or do I have to use
TDBISAMDatabase.Backup()?

For some reason I thought there was a SQL method to do the backup, but I do
not find it in any of the documentation.

Thanks,

It was planned, but never made it to fruition.  The TDBISAMDatabase.Backup
method is the way to go.

OK, that explains why I saw a TSQLStatementType, stBackup, "Indicates the
SQL statement is a BACKUP DATABASE statement.", but no BACKUP DATABASE
command.

Absolutely.  ElevateDB does almost everything in SQL.
