Export

This option exports the complete selected database, including all sequences and annotations. It creates a .db file, from which the database can be reconstructed with the 'Import'-function.

The 'Import'-function can create new databases from a .db or .ace file. A .db file can be created from an existing database, with the 'Export'-function.
