Recover db without the *_bak file?
|
When doing backup I stupidly only kept the <database>.db and not the <database_bak.db>. What is the _bak file and is there any way to recover the database without the original _bak file?
Regards

My guess is that the _bak file is exactly what it appears to be, an automatic backup file. I'd also guess that it's not necessary to reopen the database and that if you reopen the database without it, I'd expect it to be recreated the next time you close or change the database (whichever initiates the backup).
This is all just guesswork, of course, based on my experience of how programs with automatic backups usually work. |

I thought so too but I cannot open the file and trying resaving etc won't work. I guess I just have to restart.
