I can easily do something like this:

CREATE DATABASE C:\Backup\MyDBC.dbc
OPEN DATABASE C:\Production\MyDBC.dbc
liNumTables = adbobjects(laTables,'TABLE')
for ii = 1 to liNumTables
  lcFile = forceext("C:\BACKUP\" + laTables[ii],'dbf')
  use laTables[ii]
  copy to (lcFile) database C:\Backup\MyDBC.dbc with cdx
  use
endfor


...and that would get me a copy of all of the tables with their indexes. Great. But what's the easiest way to get all of the DBC meta-data into that new Backup database copy? I can't USE the MyDBC.dbc and do a COPY TO as that only makes the result a DBF and FPT.

Trying to think about a good disaster recovery plan (besides using CleverFox from Rick Schummer and Frank Perez...which is probably the best option!) for automating backups at the client who just got that ransomware virus.
