Are you talking about a dBase table (an external .dbf file)? or are
you talking about a Table in an Access database (.mdb file)?

If you're talking about Access Tables, they have no independent
existance outside of a Database. It's best to back up the entire .mdb
file; be sure that nobody has the database open at the time and use
simple file copy in Windows Explorer to copy the .mdb file to a backup
medium (such as a CD or network disk).
