I was a bit unclear, Mike.
I've got some clients who mount their dropbox locations on their local computers. The nastier bits out there can crawl UNCs now and not just mapped drives. So depending on your backup/sync settings, disaster is just a push away...

Keep in mind, like someone here already mentioned, if you push the malware up to your cloud backup then you can potentially say goodbye to all your backed up files, too.
But if you run a simple query from the DBFs and store into a MySQL/MariaDB table elsewhere, that shouldn't bring along any malware. Right? At least that was my first thought for the "simple" approach, especially since the data size was VERY small (under 50 MB after a decade of data, perhaps).
