Automatically Backing Up an Access Database

  1. Review the documentation and recommendations provided by your backup provider or backup solution.
  2. Tell your data backup provider or certified operating system and networking technician where your DATA folder is located. For information about finding your DATA folder, go to Determining the Location of Your DATA Folder.
    The DATA folder contains the Access databases and such files as eDocuments, electronic claims, etc.

    If you are storing eDocuments or electronic claims in a location other than the DATA folder, ensure that you also navigate to the location of these documents and back them up.
