Saving the Backup File
After the system completes the backup operation, the final window
displays the name of the backup file and gives you the opportunity to
save the file in a location you choose, which is typically on the disk drive
of your PC or on the disk of another computer in your network. 3Com
recommends that you save the backup file when prompted to do so.

Each time you perform a backup operation on the database, the system
overwrites this file.
If you choose to not save the backup file during the backup procedure or
if you forget to save it, you can save it later. However, if you perform
