Hi. My database has a front end and back end. In menu File, backup database I
can make a backup of the front-end, but what I really wanted was to make a
backup of back end, because is the database that contains the data.

Can anyone help me?
Marco.

You can use the FileCopy command, but make sure all forms that are bound to
any of the linked tables are closed. That means all users.
FileCopy "Source", "Destination"

But this is not a very good method. As I stated, all users have to be
disconnected from the back end or an error will be raissed. The back end
should be backed up when the network backs up the files. Network backups can
back up a file even if there still is a connection to it.
