As long as your backup software doesn't skip files that are open it
should be fine.
I have read stories in the past about people backing up data for a year
and the backup software, in the entire time, skipped the file(s) because
it was open. Then they deleted all of the records to reset for the new
year and then ask "Can I get my deleted tables back?
I've seen backup software that looks like it's backing up the files but
in reality its simply scanning the files to see what to backup. So the
user needs to restore a backuped up file and verify the tape's not blank.
Best thing to do is attempt to save it. Next, after the save attempt to
restore to another folder. Also, ensure you don't set your medium to
"no write" after a backup and you want to reuse the medium at a later time.

That seems pretty safe. The danger with backing up Access databases is
that at the moment of backup they could be written to, creating an
inconsistent backup. A very small chance, but would you want to take
it?
If you are SURE no activity is going on, you have my blessing FWIW.

You've seen the other posts. Why take chances. Write a simple batch file
independent of the database that does the backup while the database is closed.

How does Lyle's SaveAsText trick do? Has anyone tested it in the
edit condition to see what it backs up?

Yes, it does.
Try:
SaveAsText 6, "", FileName http://www.mvps.org/access/downloads/wzbackup.zip
Just tried it by putting a record into edit mode, it still saved the table
but (fairly obviously) with the original value for the field I was editing.

SaveAsText does not backup tables.
Um, have you tried SaveAsText 6, the trick that Lyle came up with?

Hi,
I am new to Win2k and SQL server and need to back up everything each night.
I used the supplied NT backup utility to schedule a backup but this missed
some files that were open or in use.
I am more used to Unix/Informix where I could backup everything whether it
was in use or not.
How or what would you recommend I use to do my backups?
Thanks.

before the problem started is the addition of more memory to the

are two databases in this server so we have two backup jobs everyday.

We have DB2 V 8.1 with FP 4 on AIX 5.2. Our database backup is done
