HI... what version of VB? what database are you using?

Yes, a lot will depend on such questions as...

• What version of VB are you using?
• What kind of database?
  Access keeps an entire database in a single file, while some other types may span a whole bunch of files, usually together in a directory. This may make a big difference to the procedure.
• What do you mean, exactly, by "back up"? For instance, do you want to:
  • Copy data to a "backup" database?
    If so, all the data or only what has been added/modified?
  • Just copy the database file(s) to another location?
  • Initiate some sort of actual backup software, such as Window Backup, Ghost, or whatever?
• Will anyone be using the database at the time?

As you can see, it's not as simple a question as it sounds.
