In addition to what Cal said, download the free Cobian Backup and back up
any files you want to your hard drive or external hard drive. I've been
using it a couple of years and it works like a champ. Totally free, no ads
or other crap.

I can see that would be inconvenient. You might set up a batch file
to do that for you.

For years up through early July I backed up religiously. Then, all of
a sudden, I can no longer back up my msmoney file. I get a message
Back Up to Hard Drive Failed or Was Cancelled. Similar message when I
try to back up to the floppy. I restored from earlier backups
thinking that perhaps my msmoney file had been corrupted. No good. I
uninstalled MS Money and reinstalled MS Money 2003. Again, this did
not solve the problem. Hard drives are all OK, but tried to back up
to different hard drives, all with no success. Running under XP. Any
ideas? Could it have been an XP update that did me in? Right now, my
only defense is to manually copy my msmoney file to another drive as
the backup, but this is a pain in the .....

As a footnote, it appears that once in a while the backup seems to go
to completion. But I certainly don't trust its integrity.
