This task is special: it uses the Make a Local Backup of VSys One in Another Folder tool to generate a .zip file containing your data, VSys.exe and VSys.ini. That file can then be un-zipped onto almost any Windows machine and used to access the embedded backup of your data. No installation is required, no Internet access is needed.
Why? Think emergency planning: once a month, run this task and have it deliver a functional copy of VSys to your remote locations. Come the zombie apocalypse (or more likely hurricanes, flooding or earthquakes), you can use this to get access to a recent version of your data, call out volunteers, and make good things happen, all without needing any Internet connection.
The data you're working with in this backup isn't "connected" back to your primary database, and anything you enter here will probably have to be re-entered in the primary database later.
