For the past several years I have been backing up my data files to my DVD drive without any problems using previous versions of Quicken. Since I upgraded to 2007, however, I find it impossible to do so. I now get a pop-up message that says: "CD backup error! The CD drive is empty. Please insert a valid disc into Drive X," even though the 4.7G backup DVD disc is in the drive, properly seated, and with plenty of room to spare.
Other applications I use that have their own native backup routines work fine. Drag&drop to the DVD also works fine. Only Q2007 doesn't. The only solution I have found thus far is to first backup Quicken to a folder in my desktop and then run a simple batch file I created that copies the backup data files from desktop to the DVD. This works just fine. I don't mind doing it this way, that is, backup Quicken to the desktop, close Quicken, and then run the batch file each time I want to back up my files, and will continue to do so. I just wonder if Q2007 has nipped the option to back up to a DVD/CD combo writer drive.
FWIW, I use Sonic's DLA to allow drag & drop as well as backup to my DVD/CD burner. Never had a problem backing up to the same DVD burner with previous Quicken versions.
Am I alone in this?
