Icons on Back-up files

I have just noticed that the files that I back up to a stick now have a little filing cabinet icon beside them with the description 'Family Historian Backup' written beside them, until the 20/21 February the icon was a 'file' with a zip running through it and the description 'Compressed (zipped) Folder', have I changed something? The file size seems about the same allowing for any additions that I have made.

This is a change made in the last release of FH7.

From Version 7 Updates:
Family Historian backup files now have their own file type (“Family Historian Backup File”) and file icon (a filing cabinet icon).
It is still a zip file under the covers, it's just been given its own file type to make it clearer what it is, and that it's associated with FH and should (usually) only be opened using FH

Thank you very much Helen, I usually just update without reading the changes, then panic when I notice something different. :) That'll teach me. :(
