In the meantime, as long as I have Q10, a back-up question

I had been backing up to an external 750Gb hdd during previous versions of Quicken. It generally took about 6 to 7 secs to backup my

90Mb QDF file to my backup drive (or about 4 or 5secs to backup same file to my desktop). Now, since upgrading to Quicken Premier 2010, the same 90-92Mb QDF file takes 45 sec (8x longer) to backup to my external drive (same backup folder) but about the same 4-5 secs to the desktop.

What's different about the QDF file under Q10 to require 45 secs to backup to an external drive?

The Q2010 QDF file now contains all the data that used to be in Quicken non-QDF data files in previous versions (that is: in Q2010, all your Quicken data is stored in one Windows file). I'm surprised your Q2010 QDF file isn't larger than it is, if it was 90Mb in the version you converted from.

When backing up to ther drives on other machines on my network(let), it takes sometimes a while for the other machine to "wake up", at least in my experience. However, it seems that tonight (after a fresh reboot of this machine) those backuos to other machines' hard drives went much faster. I doubt that it is the recent (last few days) upgrade of Q10, but the fact that the network connections were just refreshed.

Try using Windows explorer to access the drive where you back up to, just before you do the actual backup.

As always, this is usenet and YMMV!!!
