I guess that HOST is the command you are looking for. Probably you'll need to write an operating system file (for example, a MS DOS .bat file) which would actually perform backup. You'd call this script from your form using the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger with already mentioned HOST command.

Daily or weekly backup suggests that there's another term you might need: scheduling. You'll have to decide will it be Oracle-based scheduling (read more about DBMS_JOB or DBMS_SCHEDULER) or operating system specific scheduling (which differs from UNIX to MS WINDOWS to OpenVMS etc.).
