To which "backup file" do you refer?

If you are referring to the 'Backup' option available in the Sequential File and Hashed File stages (perhaps others) from what I recall it creates a directory called DSBackup at the same level as the object in question and 'backs it up' by copying it into there when the job starts. What's nice about that is a Reset of the job performs a 'restore' of that information as well.

Craig has it, but we had to be certain whether you meant that, or an export file, or something else.
