To save a copy of a database file


1.

Choose File > Save a Copy As (Figure 3.40).

Figure 3.40. To make a backup copy of a record, choose Save a Copy As under the File menu.


2.

When the dialog box appears, you can either accept the default name or type in a new name. Choose where you want to store the copy by navigating through the folder icons at the top of the dialog box. At the bottom of the dialog box (Figure 3.41), you also have the option to save the copy as a regular database file, a space-saving compressed file, or a clone. The clone option lets you save a database's layout, scripts, and field definitions but without any data.

Figure 3.41. When making a backup copy, you can save it as a regular record, a compressed version, or a layout-only clone. Choose one and click Save.


3.

Once you've picked your file name, destination, and file type, click Save.
