[basex-talk] Backing up database

Hi,

I am trying to maintain a daily backup of all the XML files stored in the database. When I run CREATE BACKUP *, zipped backups of all the databases are created. I unzipped these archives and noticed that the files inside are stored in an internal basex format. Please see an example archive attached. Will I be able to restore these archives to original state if I upgrade to a newer version of BaseX? Will the files in the internal format be compatible with newer versions? If not, is there an alternative way of creating backups? Or, do you suggest I write an XQuery to create timestamped versions of files?

Thanks, Sony
