Button to backup database ???

[TenOc]

I am developing a new Access application. I want to backup my database several times a day. Can I code a button to do a backup without the need to close the database (or close, backup, and then reopen) or copy to a different location, and rename with date/time stamp? If I close the database, I can use my normal backup program to do the backup. After I complete the changes, I will remove the button.

If you're just doing this during development, why not use the built-in backup function. Not sure exactly where it is in v2013, but in v2007 you'd hit the Office button then click on 'Manage' and 'Backup Database.'

This is what I have been doing. Then every so often, I do a backup with Genie. I was looking for a "one step" way. Access can do most "anything" with macro, why not backup?? . . .
