what thing you are trying to backup and restore...?
is this your database your are talking about...?
then please be clear in your question that your want to backup this thing and then i need to also give restoration functionality.

This is not a good question - we cannot work out from that little what you are trying to do.
Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind.
So give us as much detail as you can - there are many, many things I back up on a regular basis, and it could be any of them!

If you're talking about Back up and restore an Access database (MDB)[^], you're quite close to find a solution, because you're using the method similar to this: How to backup ms access database in vb.net?[^]

But... I would suggest you to use MS Access Compact Database[^] method. If you would like to access to the other methods of MS Access application, please refer this: How To Automate Microsoft Access From Visual Basic .NET[^]
