Hi Yeying,
My name is Dennis Schmidt. Thank you for using the Microsoft Newsgroups.
In versions of Access prior to the latest Office 2003, there is not a built
in method of backing up an Access database. Because you have to have
exclusive control of the database, it makes it unpractical to try to back
it up during the day.
I would suggest using the System Tasks administrative tool to create a task
to do the job during the evening when no one is using the database. You
simply create a .bat (batch) file that does a copy of the database from one
location to another and then use System Tasks to schedule when the task
will run.
I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
reply to this posting.
