Options to automatically create backup of Access database
Dear experts,
What options are there in Access to automatically create a backup of the complete database at opening of the database or daily at a specific time? Preferably when the Access db is opened that a window asks the user if the user wants to create a backup of the database?

If your db is split, you can at the startup, before a lock file is created on the back-end prompt the user. If they confirm, then it is a simple filecopy.
You don't want to perform a backup while there exist a lock file.

The database is the front end & back end. That is why I want to implement a automatic backup solution.
