Quickbooks won't backup

Dec 27, 2007 1 Replies

I have a client who run's Quickbooks 7.4 Australian version.



They tried backing up to a usb stick drive got partly though the backup and it said the drive was full. It wasn't as the drive was 2 GB and their company file is only 50 MB. Now the same drive's full message is coming up backing up to the hard disc. Also the restore function stopped working. Everything else is ok though.



I'm going over to have a look tomorrow as I want to make a copy of the company file before any verify and rebuild options are tried.



Any suggestions what the problem could be and a fix?


Back up to a hard drive directory you can find and copy it to the USB stick. Then you will know if it is the stick that is the problem or QuickBooks.
