Back-End 
(Data File) 
Maintenance
We recommend backing up the back-end data file daily. The backup pro-
cess varies, depending on your version of SQL Server:
1.
If you have the full version of SQL Server, this process is provided for

ponents of SQL Server), you will need to run through a separate data 
backup procedure.
