Access Autopilot automates backup, compression, and archiving of Access databases at night to enhance efficiency and dependability. Ideal for network/database administrators, it saves significant time and reduces stress. Suitable for multi-user applications.
With Autopilot, you can quickly determine which users and computers are connected to the database, so you can send them a customized admin pop-up message, such as 'Please exit the application!' before performing maintenance work. You can also use Autopilot as a Windows service for better reliability, efficiently managing an unlimited number of Access databases across your organization.
As a centralized 'database of databases' management tool, Autopilot allows you to set and forget an unlimited number of maintenance jobs for each database profile. It's the perfect solution for controlling all pesky Microsoft Access databases from one central and convenient location.
Autopilot uses Best Backup (R) technology to ensure the best backup method, including the extraction of table data into an external database, without users exiting the application. With flexible naming conventions for archived backups based on dates or incrementing numbers, you'll never be confused about the backups' origin. The backup data is reliable, date-archived, and free of corruption, ensuring that you have a copy of your database tables when you need them.
Additional useful features include quick database statistics, such as identifying record counts, the last backup date and compact date, and database size, which you can access from the server to identify bottlenecks. Autopilot will even run a custom macro in your database to perform more advanced tasks. These include purging or archiving historical records or executing another application.
Access Autopilot is an essential tool for network administrators, database administrators, and access developers using Access in a multi-user environment. It provides a powerful solution for managing and controlling your access databases safely and securely from one location, making it an excellent addition to any organization that frequently uses Access.
