Back-end Backup Tool
backuptool.zip (Build 005, 10 May 2017, 191k, Downloaded: 15.100 times)Do you have one or more split Access database systems which are permanently in use? Then you probably know you can't just copy their back-end files to create a backup of them as the copies might become corrupt. This database tool allows you to make scheduled backups for an unlimited amount of Access databases. The tool keeps three backup copies of each database it backs up.
Updated to build 005:
- Enabled for 64 bit Office
- Also copies the relationships to the backup copy.
- Skips linked tables
Credits: Thanks to Paul Connolly for adding the relationships code.
Works for Access 2003-2021 and Office 365. Separate 64 bit version included.

Hi Sultan,

Only works for *.mdb databases?
MS Access database uses *.accdb format.
What am I missing? Please advise

Hi Fred,
In the download file there are several versions, I suggest to use the one containing 2010 in its name. I haven't tried the tool in several years, but I would expect it to work with accdb files.
