Personally I would move that job to windows task scheduler. Like this you can schedule regular backups. And depending on your needs you can also invoke the scheduler task programmatically.

Erm ... Close doesn't return anything - it's a void method: Form.Close Method (System.Windows.Forms) | Microsoft Docs[^] so that code probably won't even compile.

If you want to do something when a form closes, handle the FormClosing event[^] and do it there.
