Hi Helen

Does backing up and restoring do the equivalent of a sweep of does this need to be done in addition?

It will never do an automatic sweep (a setting of 0 disables automatic
sweeping). However, in a well-written IBO application, your database will
never reach the condition where the auto sweep would be triggered, so
manual sweeps must be considered as part of your regular housekeeping, in
order to clean out the stubs of deleted records and release that space back
to the database.
