Скачать или смотреть Quick and Scalable Approaches for Automating MS Access Database Backups

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to create an automated backup system for your MS Access database using a simple batch file and VBA. Learn how to ensure your important data is securely backed up to a subfolder with a timestamp, all while keeping your workflow efficient. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced Access user, this step-by-step guide will walk you through the entire process. I will show you a manual process just running the batch file or triggering on a MS Access button, semi-automate when the form loads, or fully automate each morning using the Task Scheduler in MS Windows. There are a bunch of ways to do this, these are just a few approaches I use. Let me know if you have questions!

I chose using a batch file method for two reasons: (1) it's faster than generating a backup in pure VBA and (2) this will provide a framework you can use for other types of files.

Enjoy!
