Can anyone please help me. How can you backup your database from within your application.

It depends on what kind of database it is.

If its MS Access you should be able to use the File System Object to just copy the .mdb file to a new location.

If it is DB2, Oracle, SQL Server, etc you would have to do something different, and would likely want to either set up a routine within the database system itself (a stored procedure) that would copy your tables to a different server, or something within your application that would call a stored procedure to copy the tables. (This also requires that you have a back up server running DB2, Oracle, SQL server, etc) for it to be a true back up anyway.
