Up to you...

If you turn SystemRestore off (as I usually do anyway, just makes lots of
things faster) especially on the drive holding the databases, then you don't
need to worry.

If you think that you or someone else might forget about that, then change
to another extension such as fdb. We now use fdb as well, just as a matter
of convention, and to avoid any possible future problems.

Regards
Colin
