Default Re: DVD Backup

I have had good luck with Sandisk in addition to Lexar. Check the Sunday
inserts. USB flash drives are frequently sold as loss leaders by the usual
suspects for this kind of thing: BestBuy, Circuit City, CompUSA, Staples,
Office*, etc. Even Sam's/Costco have had great prices on some.

Since speed is not critical for most of us for that application, I

Part of the things I pay attention to is the form factor. The one I
put on my keychain will need to attach the body to the keys rather
than attach the cap to the keys. Lexar is a top brand. Memorex is
good, but the form factor is not as good for some applications. I
have had good experience with my cheap PNY.

Thanks for your reply. I am not that adept to handle that kind of operation.
Thanks again.

Ok. Then your only choice is to make the DVD look like a hard disk to the
rest of the operating system. When you can File|Save from Notepad to the
DVD, you'll be able to backup on exit from Money. The likely path is one of:

a) DVD-RAM drive/media,
b) Direct-to-Disc (Roxio Easy Coaster Creator)
c) InCD (Ahead Nero)

Thanks for your reply.

Using Money 2002.

What I would like is to have the file backed up automatically when I close
money. I know I can back it up to a DVD.

What version of Money?

You can always use any method outside of Money you use to backup any other
data files to DVD to backup your .MNY Money data files.

Default DVD Backup

How can I get to backup my money file. At present it only gives me a choice
to floppy A or B. B is a Imation 120 meg Super Disk but it seems to have
become defective or works intermittently. Using floppy A would take more
then one disk.Would to back to a DVD disk. Can it be done?. I do backup to
my C: Drive.
