Many users are confused about How to create a backup database in access, let's disucss. Data is crucial for any organization, and it must be protected. Data protection is possible by keeping a backup copy of the database with the help of effective backup software. But, if there is a disaster, then backup software alone does not help restore the database. It should be accompanied by a complete backup plan. So, what does the data backup plan states? The detailed data protection plan states that data must be backed up as per the ‘3-2-1’ rule.

As per the 3-2-1 rule, database administrators must maintain three copies of important data, store these copies on two different storage types, and store at least one copy of the data offsite. Once the backup plan and the backup software is in place, it is easy to restore the database, be it in any form including Access database.
Let’s create a step-by-step plan to backup and restore Access Database:

•     Create a regular backup plan
•     Perform Access database backup
•     Perform backup for the split – backend and frontend database
•     Restore database with the backup
  

Step 1: Create a regular backup plan

In Microsoft Access database, some changes or mistakes are irreversible. For example, using an action query to change an entry or delete a record. Such entries cannot be reversed by using the undo function. You need to restore Access database from the backup or you may suffer the data loss.

A backup plan must consist of:

•     Schedule for data backup (Time for regular backup and name of backup software)
•     Access Repair software (An alternative solution to repair Access database in the absence of the latest and healthy backup)
  

Step 2: Perform Access Database Backup

Note: Access database closes all objects open in the design view and saves them at the specified location with the specified name.  

To perform a backup, open the Access database for which back up is to be performed and execute the following steps:

•     Go to File and select Save As
•     Under the File Types, select the option Save Database As
•     Under Advanced, click Backup database followed by Save As
•     The Save As dialog box opens. Check the name of the database in the Filename box
