To Back Up the application file is a good practice to prevent data loss in case of
system failure.
When you backup a database, Access saves a copy of the database file by using a
name and location that you specify.
You can backup the application file clicking on the Back Up button located in the
ribbon at the left top of the application window.
You can also go to the Backstage view clicking on the File tab and using the
"Save Database As" option. The default name captures both the name of the
original database file and the date that you make the backup, but you can change
the name of the backed up file if you want, .
When you restore data or objects from a backup, you want to
know which database the backup came from and when the backup
was created. Therefore, it is usually a good idea to use the default
file name.
