    Database backup


    Is there a way to have the database automatically backup every day at a certain time?

    Just use Windows Scheduler to run a job at a certain time of the day to copy the database to your backup location.
    I often add a datestamp to the file name to differentiate the backups (usually hav my Scheduler run a batch file or vb script to copy/rename the database).
    Just make sure that whatever computer you run this from is on at that time of the day (we usually do it from a server).

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
