Quicken 2000 - help with backing up please?

tinateaspoon

I know it an old system, but I'm quite used to it! Now have a laptop and to back up it Quicken keeps asking for a floppy disc - which I don't have!

Any tips on how to back it up, write the back up to a CD, and be able to restore it if necessary?

See this page on how to backup to your hard drive and subsequently to a cd-r

When you get that message to use a floppy, click okay. You will then have the choice of selecting a different drive on the neext screen. You now have a choice, back it up to perhaps your C drive then burn to a CD from there, or maybe you have a pen drive you can back it up to simpley by selecting the drive letter of your choice. Hope that helps.

BTW, restoring is just as easy, simply select the drive and directory the files are on and Bob's your Uncle.

Thanks, I'll give it a go - knew it had to be possible somehow!

Thanks, I'm sure I've tried the change of drive, but it kept rejecting it - anyway, will have another go and keep my fingers crossed!
