Best ways to protect user data...

[parkerjnc]

I have a VB.Net app which uses an Access database to store some user information. This db file is kept in the parent folder of the LocalUserAppDataPath. This avoids the path changing if the version of my app changes and is in keeping with Vista's UAC design.

Are there any additional steps that could be suggested to help ensure this db file is kept safe? I thought of somehow keeping a backup of the file but then where would the backup be stored?

Thanks in advance,
