You cannot  update the old one.   You just make a new copy and then you can decide how many older copies you want to keep and then deleting the older ones.

    Thank you Mark.
    is it OK for me to create a new copy every week and delete the old one just to make sure i have a back up in case i mess up the live one?
    And Can i turn the copy to a live one if i mess up my live one?

      Yes you can make a new copy as often as you like.   But if you want to make the backup copy to be your Live one, you will have lost any data entry during that period.

      Quick Base does take nightly backups of all apps, and if you really need to they can help restore that app to how it looked last night, or to restore just lost data. Their daily backups are retained  for 2 weeks and then weekly for a bunch of weeks, I believe 6 months.
