Discussion

It is important to backup your database on a regular basis. Most companies have a backup process to ensure that all data is saved at least once a day; consequently, all databases shared on a company network server are backed up daily as well.

Your database may be saved to the hard drive of a personal computer, another available drive, or removable media (a CD or USB flash drive for example). Backing up your hard drive ensures that all data, queries, forms and reports in your database are saved. As a result, you can recover your database if something were to happen to it.
