When using linked projects, a backup file for each project will be read by appending a dot and the project name to the file. For example if Target File points to "backup.bck", the linked project "myLinkProj" will use the file "backup.myLinkProj.bck" for restore. If the linked project backup file does not exist, an empty database will be created.

After restoring a backup, Kalipso will run the update on the database structure if needed to the structure in the current project.
