| Using Money 2007 I don't have a problem backing up to my hard drive, but I do have a problem creating a secondary backup on a USB flash drive.

Probably.

When you restore, don't restore to the default location. Instead> files dated a few days ago attempted to use them and was told wrong > path;overwrite proceted (its not) etc......HELP Browse to your MyDocuments folder and give the file a new name. Maybe that will help. It won't hurt. Start-> Search your hard drive(s) for *.mbf, *.mny. See if you can find something in the date range from before the problems started. I am sure you will be planning your backup strategy going forward. Money 2007 will keep 4 backups by default, but I like to increase that number. Also, don't forget that hard drives can fail. USB flash drives tend to be more reliable than many backup media. |

I then attempted to restore the backup and somehow I did the no-no.....I somehow backup a blank money file with the same name as the existing file and apparently overwrote that file and lose the data that I think was originally backup file..Is all my original money date gone? there is two money backup files dated a few days ago attempted to use them and was told wrong path;overwrite proceted (its not) etc......HELP |
