Backup file

[Kundan]

When we copy a .accdb file or overwrite a .accdb file a backup file is immediately created. Is this an Access feature or some other software?

msa has nothing to do with that.

have you seen this?

Access 2010 database is creating back up copies of itself

looks like it might be the problem of access that's all so popular around here. IT'S CORRUPT.

mystery to me but more information might help

are you copying from/to the server and a local folder?
how are you copying? using windows explorer? code?
Where is the backup created? the source or the destination folder?
What is the backup file named?
What is the copy named?
Does it happen every time?
Are other users in the .accdb when you copy?

As arnel and CJ have suggested --please provide more info re your set up and exactly the process you are using.

My emphasis added.

Would that be the front end file, the back end file, or is this a monolithic (single-file) database?

Are you doing this from inside the DB itself or is this a manually performed or automatically performed copy operation using something other than Access itself to do the copy?

When you do this operation, does the thing you use to make the copy give you any messages?

The behavior of automated backups strongly suggests, as Adam has mentioned, that something is corrupted but we need more information to decide whether this is Access itself doing something or whether something else is doing this for you.

Is your database set to automatically compact on close? If so, disable that setting.
