Backing up your database can be a simple as ...

1. Copying the MDB file from the hard drive to a diskette on a daily basis
2. If too large for a diskette, copying the database from your local hard
drive to a network drive
3. Copying the MDB file from your hard drive to a CD-ROM using appropriate
CD creation software

All users must be *out* of the database when any copying is done.
