The flip side of that is that it needs to be backed up IN TOTAL every time
you open it because that resets the modified flag. My Entourage database is
a relatively modest 2 gigabytes. I do move the whole thing back and forth
between Mac Pro and MacBook Pro as the way to have a backup copy (Entourage
also makes backups to the drive where it exists). However, if you're doing
incremental backups of your entire drive, adding 2 gigs to that backup every
time uses media rather quickly.
