Backing up Access 2000 to a CD disk?
Make sure the .mdb file is not open while backing up. Before backing up
Compact and Repair the .mdb file. This will shrink the file size. Last, make sure you Label your CD backup. It's easy to forget this step. You'll thank yourself when the db crashes and you're able to restore from the last backup. I'm not sure why you're having errors. However, this is not an Access issue.

oups.com... Using the file/backup database and I set the location to a R/W CD, I get an error message. hat is the best way to backup a 2000 database? What is the error message? There could be any number of reasons for an error. Most of the reasons will be a Windows issue or a problem with the CD burner. I backup my databases by simple copying them to a CD using the Windows file system utility which turns on when I put an empty disk in the CD burner. I use those for offsite backups. I use USB memory sticks for my incremental backups. I use a USB external hard drive for my workstation backup and a tape drive system for server backup. -- Arvin Meyer, MCP, MVP http://www.datastrat.com http://www.mvps.org/access http://www.accessmvp.com |

I wouldn't recommend using optical drives for automated backup in Win2K or WinXP. It just isn't reliable. -- David W.
