Access is one of the only programs in the Office suite that doesn’t feature an auto-recovery option in the case of a program crash or unexpected shutdown. Because of this, users may want to make sure that database backups are made consistently. Access provides a backup procedure that automatically date-stamps the backup files for easy archiving.
- [Instructor] Access is one of the only programs…in the Office Suite that doesn't feature…an auto-recovery option in case…of a program crash or an unexpected shutdown.…Because of this, you wanna make sure…that you're backing up your databases on a regular basis.…Luckily, Access makes it really easy to create backup,…so there's absolutely no reason…not to protect yourself and your data.…In order to get to the backup functionality,…we simply take our database and go up here to the File tab.…Then we'll come down to Save As.…In the Save Database As section,…we have an option here at the bottom…that says Back Up Database.…
Let's go ahead and select that option,…and then click the Save As button.…That'll bring up the standard Windows Save As dialog box,…and it places us into the folder…where our original database was.…So I was working a database here called LandonHotel-Backups,…which is this one here, and that was currently…in the Chapter 1 folder for the exercise files.…Notice that the backup file name…that Access is providing us is the same name…
