the easiest way is copying current access database to backup folder.
Use FileCopy to copying file.
this following code is an example :

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        FileCopy("D:\Authors.mdb", "D:\BackUpFolder\NewBackUpName.mdb")
End Sub

So file Authors.mdb in D:\ will copying into Folder BackUpFolder
