Solution 1

Inside MS SQL Management Studio

1- Right Click your Database
2- Tasks - > Generate Script
3- follow the steps appeared to you in pop-up (choose to select All, it will select all of your tables, views, procedures etc)
4- choose to generate file at any of your specified location

5- open that file
6- go into that file and replace your database name with new database name... i.e Replace [MyDB] to [MyDB2]

7- it is a complete query to generate new database with same database schema.
8- Just run that query and a clone of your database [MyDB] with be ready for you with name [MyDB2]

i think in MS Access you need to generate another copy & Truncate all the tables.
what my practice is, i remain with my empty tabled MS Access file inside code directory & place its replica in User AppData folder. during testing environment use the .mdb file placed inside User's AppData folder. This way, while deployment you remain with clean database and you do not need to delete all the rows you inserted while development or testing.
