I can easily do something like this:

CREATE DATABASE C:\Backup\MyDBC.dbc

OPEN DATABASE C:\Production\MyDBC.dbc

liNumTables = adbobjects(laTables,'TABLE')

for ii = 1 to liNumTables

lcFile = forceext("C:\BACKUP\" + laTables[ii],'dbf')

use laTables[ii]

copy to (lcFile) database C:\Backup\MyDBC.dbc with cdx

use

endfor

...and that would get me a copy of all of the tables with their indexes.

Great. But what's the easiest way to get all of the DBC meta-data into

that new Backup database copy? I can't USE the MyDBC.dbc and do a COPY

TO as that only makes the result a DBF and FPT.

Trying to think about a good disaster recovery plan (besides using

CleverFox from Rick Schummer and Frank Perez...which is probably the

best option!) for automating backups at the client who just got that

ransomware virus.
