Hi expert, I have a question regarding the fbk backup. In the past two weeks, when I back up the fbk, there have been  always three files, and the first two of them are exactly the same file size. Please advise! Thank you!

    Agreed with Suresh and Saurav. Upgrade to latest version, you will have a one backup file. (Sadly no fbk)

    Hi,

    Just to add on what @Suresh Said, While Restoring you need to select the first file and system will be take care of selecting the other files automatically.

    Hello Snoppy,

    When you do this kind of backup NAV breaks up the backup file into multiple files, each file has an incremented number at the end. So for example, if you named the backup "10-20-16_1" then you might get the following depending on how large your backup is:

    10-20-16_1.fbk

    10-20-16_2.fbk

    10-20-16_3.fbk

    10-20-16_4.fbk

    Only the last file will have a different (smaller) size because each file has a maximum size until it carries over to the next file.

    It depends on your database size, the navision has file size limit of 2 GB for backup, if it is more then that it will split into multiple files
