no, making copies of hosted databases is not possible, only stand alone files.<br />
do a backup on the fly on yr fm server and you'll get a perfect copy of it.<br />
let me know of you are not familiar with filemaker server admin to do this. also tell me what kind of server, osX or windows?

I'm still trying to get with my server admin to see if this works. &nbsp;I'll go ahead and accept and let you know how it goes!

you don't need fm server admin, just the fmsadmin command line tool which is installed with it.

Hi All,<br />
<br />
I am using Filemaker Pro 8 which is running off a server. &nbsp;I was wondering if this is why I am unable to &quot;Save a copy of&quot; when trying to create a copy on my local harddrive. &nbsp;Is there any way to get around this?<br />

Hi All,

I am using Filemaker Pro 8 which is running off a server.  I was wondering if this is why I am unable to "Save a copy of" when trying to create a copy on my local harddrive.  Is there any way to get around this?

Thanks!

&quot;Save a copy of&quot;

FileMaker Pro is a cross-platform relational database application that integrates a database engine with a graphical user interface (GUI) and security features, allowing users to modify the database by dragging new elements into layouts, screens, or forms. FileMaker evolved from a DOS application, but since 1992 has been available for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS, and can be used in a cross-platform environment.
