4 part Question on Backingup DB

[Desstro]

1) How can i set up Access2010 to automatically back itself up at a designated time?



2) Does it matter if an end user is in the database at the designated Backup time?

and if so,

3) Is it possible to have a command prompt to all users in the DB that they need to save and close the DB for a designated period of time to allow the backup to take place, otherwise any unsaved data will be lost,

4) and then force the DB to close in order to backup?
