 Re: MS Money 2005 backup question After advice from MVP's on the "News" I bought a USB2 flash drive and now leave this on the PC so that when I leave Money I automatically do a back up to this.

copy the entire file to USB drives.

Is there a fix for this somewhere or, has a > newer version got this squared away? I don't use floppies, I also don't backup from within Money. I just had files small enough to fit on a floppy. ---------- http://www.barnabascollins.blogspot.com ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

It leaves a zero byte temporary file that is irritating, but harmless. |

| Re: MS Money 2005 backup question Taylor is right, you should just back up to another hdd if you have one. Currently I back up to an old internal zip100 which works great. Anyway, I think it automatically overwrites the file. I have used Money 2003 for about 3 years and just went to 2005 about 3 months ago and I just checked my zip drive and there is only one file on it. There isn't multiple files.

| Re: MS Money 2005 backup question Don't bother backing up to floppies. Back up to another disk on your system, or just to your main hard disk.

| Re: MS Money 2005 backup question It would seem that even with a USB stick you would have a LOT of backup files on it pretty quick since it won't overwrite.

| Re: MS Money 2005 backup question A goof in M2005 I guess! No fix available except an upgrade to M2006. BTW floppies are not really reliable for something as critical as your Money file backup.

| MS Money 2005 backup question In MS Money 2005 standard version, when you want to backup tp a 3 1/2 floppy it does not offer to overwrite the file which would be particularly handy to do since it unfortunately requires 2 discs unlike any previous versions I have used. I think that is pretty lame. So it seems, unless I missed something somewhere, you have to format or delete the current file before using the same discs again. Is there a fix for this somewhere or, has a newer version got this squared away? |
