For future reference, you often will not get an answer to a question like this, that is what Google is for[^]. You will need to execute that SQL from your C# app - AFAIK this is the easiest way to achieve a database backup in the manner you mentioned.

Please have a decent look before asking questions like this. There are a myriad places that describe exactly how to do this.

How about you try this code.

---------------------------

MSIL

 try
{
    File.Copy(Application.StartupPath +
              "\\DBName.mdb", Application.StartupPath +
              "\\Backup\\" + DateTime.Now.Day.ToString() +
              "_" + DateTime.Now.Month.ToString() +
              "_" + DateTime.Now.Year.ToString() +
              "_DBBackUp.mdb");
}
catch (Exception)
{

    MessageBox.Show("Database already existde for Current Day");
}
