Hi Tim & Team...

I've read a few posts and some of the manual regarding Backing up /
Restoring and Stores with ElevateDB.

I have gotten my head around most of it, but my application needs to
backup and restore the database via USB drives, so I'm just wondering
what you would advise in terms of creating stores / backing up
/restoring on totally different PC's etc

For example: Would I have to create a new store each time a user wants
to restore from a USB stick that they insert which could appear as
different drive letters each time etc.

Thanks

It's OK... I have gone with creating a STORE pointing to the selected
USB device, backing up and then DROP the STORE using a KEEP CONTENTS clause.

That will work.  There's not much overhead to creating/dropping stores other
than a write/flush of the configuration file.
