creating backups

[Guest]

I created several backups of my database. Now there are several records
missing or deleted (I do not know what happened to them). I have a report
that shows the missing records and when I open backups that is dated before
the report, the information is not in any of those either. What happened to
the information in the old backups?

Hello "berladybug".

I created several backups of my database. Now there are several
records missing or deleted (I do not know what happened to them).
I have a report that shows the missing records and when I open
backups that is dated before the report, the information is not
in any of those either. What happened to the information in the
old backups?

It is possible that the records were deleted before any of the
backups was made.
It is also possible that the database is split and that you have
made backups of tha frontend database while the records were stored
(and deleted) in the backend database.
But never mind, if the report can show you what records are deleted,
the records probably are not deleted but filtered out by your forms.
Check the tables instead of the report.

Hi Wolfgang,
There are backups before and after the report was printed and the records
are deleted from the tables. The database is replicated and I have been
backing up the "Design Master" usually after synchronizing. Thanks.
