You will then be presented with various options for copying and renaming the file. Select the option that applies for your particular scenario.

Note: Option "2" will copy all layouts, formats, and data. You will probably want to use this option when creating archive files so that you have the screens, reports, edit dictionary, and so forth if you will have a need to periodically retrieve data from the archive.
