I have a access application with tables etc... that i want to make sure don't get messed up.  I did think i might just have them copy it out to a network drive somewhere periodically.
Your "access application" should be split into Front-End (FE) (Forms, reports, queries, code modules, and maybe a few tables used for data in drop-downs, which almost never change) and a Back-End (BE).  The BE (if being shared among multiple users) should already be on a network server.

This configuration makes it easier to backup the FE and BE separately.
