is a powerful tool for scheduling repairs, compacts, and backups of your Microsoft Access databases.
MDBTask is a system agent that automates several important database maintenance jobs. MDBTask's scheduler can run backups at any time, allowing you to set recurring schedules for running daily, weekly, or monthly backups. With MDBTask, you can automate backups of your database to either a ZIP (compressed) or MDB (same as original) file format.
With MDBTask, you can automate routine repair and compacts of your databases. You can open and execute MDBs into which you build functionality specific to your needs such as automatically e-mailing reports, exporting or importing data, and more.
MDBTask backups can be done even while other users access the database being backed up. MDBTask can maintain a history of up to 99 previous backups of your database (with a system MDW file, if one exists). MDBTask can backup across a network, from computer to computer, or to a ZIP or JAZ drive.
MDBTask also provides an easy way to organize and schedule Microsoft Access applets (MDB files containing auto execute macros or code) for running routine data extracts, e-mailing reports, and more.
