 Re: Backing up files to a RW CD Hi Scott Wish you luck with it, but I have found in the past that if there was anything I could not afford to lose, I would not use a Packet Writing software such as Direct Cd, because I would eventually lose it. Dick knows what he is talking about, and if you don't want to follow his advise, at least keep another backup on floppy or your hard drive.....................and believe me, you will one day need it.

| Re: Backing up files to a RW CD Many others, myself included, cannot say the same. But if you trust it with your Money backups, more power to you.

| Re: Backing up files to a RW CD Money 2004 Windows XP Don't know why my set up would be any different than anyone else, but my Money file is set up to back up to my CDRW drive. I just browsed to the drive I wanted to back up to. It backs up daily to the CDRW and every 5th day to a 64MB CF card in a card reader. The CDRW disk was formatted using DirectCD.

With Windows XP, you can back up to the "hard disk" that corresponds to your CD/R drive. Browse to the drive from "My Computer". That will put the file onto a staging area on your hard drive. Consider modifying the backup file name to incorporate the date. |

| Backing up files to a RW CD I would like to back my Money files to the CD burner E drive rather than the Floppy A drive. The only options it offers is the A drive for the floppy and a F drive that I don't have. Can you tell me how to do this? Thanks |
