Backup up data

[Paul]

Hi,

How do I backup a database that might be in use. I don't want to use SQL
Server for this single-user application that I am designing and therefore
want to use the ODBC Access Driver. I need to plan the administration first
before deciding to write the application. Ideally I would like to use the
NTBACKUP scripts to backup the database along with the server. Is this
possible?

Tks.

Paul

Copying any file that is in use is not a particularly good idea. Many
backup programs temporarily lock the file holding any access to it in memory
until the file is copied. That said, there have been many people who copy
Access databases while in use without ill effect.
