Back Up Your Access Files Online
With our automatic file backup service, you can select to back
up individual files, entire folders, or an entire hard drive. You can even access Access files
remotely and share Access files between Remote Data Backup accounts. For more
information, see the offsite backup and restore documentation.
To back up Access files offsite,
- To back up data files only, simply select the files or folders to back up using the Backup view. If your files are deleted or damaged, simply select the files or folders to restore using the Restore tab in the Remote Data Backups software.
- If Access has its own backup and recovery software utility and you are not using Windows Recovery, we recommend you back up Access to the hard drive using Access's built-in backup software and then back up the Access backup using Remote Data Backups. To restore the data, reverse this process.
- To assure all program settings are backed up, we recommend that you back up the entire Windows system using the 10 MB or 30 MB online backup solution. If your files are deleted or damaged, simply restore the Windows system using the Windows Heal tab in the Remote Data Backups software.
