The error message appeared even though I was only changing settings for the daily backup to the hard drive. After I plugged in the flash drive, I was able to make the setting change. I do backup to the flash drive also every 14 days just for extra backup so that can be disconnected from the computer and stored elsewhere. Anyhow, things are good now. Thanks, |

You will still have to manually delete the oldest to make room. The number of backups to keep for a hard drive is honored. I suggest increasing that number, assuming you have a lot of hard drive space to spare. |

I plugged it in and was able to make the change in the number of backups to keep.

| Is the backup path a removable drive? If so, plug in the drive to make the change. You don't have to actually back up at that time, but the path must exist when you're updating the parameters. Also, when you plug it in, it has to map to the same path. Different USB ports or different USB drives may map to different drive letters. -- Chris Cowles Gainesville, FL "L'l John" <je_norrisstopspam[at]hotmail.com> wrote in message news:elSUJi2tGHA.4372[at]TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... - quote - > When making a change in the backup settings, I select "OK" and then > receive the following error message: > "The path name is invalid.

| When making a change in the backup settings, I select "OK" and then receive the following error message: "The path name is invalid. Please use a valid path name." I am not changing the path, just the number of backups to keep. How can I make a change without this error? Thanks, John |
