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.
