SUMMARY
=======

When you create a backup of a schedule file by choosing the Backup option from
the File menu, the backup file is smaller in size than the original schedule
file. The size can sometimes be nearly half or even one third the original size.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The smaller size of the backup SCD file can be attributed to the following:

1. The backup process in Schedule+ 7.0 does not copy the Synchronization Table
  from the original SCD file.

2. The backup process removes extra blank spaces and performs defragmentation of
  data in the original SCD file before copying to the backup SCD file.

Performing a backup and restore of the schedule file is a suggested method of
optimizing your Schedule+ 7.0 SCD files.
