      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.
