To make a backup of a Concordance Desktop database imagebase you can export the database's .cib file to an .opt formatted file. The OPT file is a text file that contains the contents of the imagebase at the time of the export.
|
If you plan to export the imagebase database more than once, make sure that you delete or rename the existing .opt file(s) prior to exporting as Concordance Desktop will not overwrite the file(s). The exported .opt file does not include markup history. |
