Hi all and thanks in advance for your clarification on this.

If I use the File | Backup Database... tool, why is the backup s-o-o-o much smaller than the original? The difference is significant, i.e., decreases from 1MB to 268KB. Quite a drop! Anyone know why?

TIA,


Best,

I believe it compacts the db then backsup
