Default Re: Back-up

Packet writing software is software that tries to make a writable optical
disk "look like" something it isn't: a general purpose random access file
system like a floppy or hard disk. I cited examples.

YMMV==Your Mileage My Vary.

Little plug-in gadgets that act like a big removable drive. Prices
and performance vary. They fit in your pocket.

No. Here are a couple searches that show some of them.

What's 'packet writing software"?
What's YMMV?

This hurts to admit. What's a flash drive? Is that one of those little

Check the settings in Tools|Options|Backup. If you are backing up to CD
using some kind of packet writing software (Direct CD, Drag-to-Disc, InCD)
be advised that many of us have found the technology available today too
unreliable to consider using it for our Money backups. As always, YMMV.

I suggest you make your "floppy" backup to a USB flash drive.

Disabling "floppy" backup with Tools-> Options-> Backup would not be
as good.

Default Back-up

I'm running MSMoney 2001. It has started needing two disks to BU.
I tried and finally got it to back-up to a CD but I keep getting bugged to
run BU to a floppy.

How can I get the program to recognize I am backing up to a CD?

Regards,

fatjac
