What causes Quicken files to get corrupted? Ever since I've had Quicken 2005, I've run into problems backing up my files. I get the FILE NOT BACKED UP message quite frequently. I've gone through the validate & super-validate procedure but this doesn't seem to help. I never once had this problem with Quicken 2001.

Please respond directly to this newsgroup.
what sort of media areyou backing up to? do you have issues when you back up to a hard drive/. I never had this problem with any Quicken version.

I'm running Q05 H&B release 5 also, on XP Home, and I've never seen a problem such as you describe.

Me too. I've never had this problem ever unless the backup drive was faulty. I've used Quicken since 1987.

With all due respect guys...saying you've never seen the problem really doesn't help.
To the OP: I backup to a different partition on my HD and it seems to work better/more quickly. From there, you can burn to CD or whatever. But then you probably know how to burn CDs huh? I also hear that a flashdrive works well too but I haven't tried that option.

Sure it helps.
It provides feedback that the problem is particular to the OP's configuration or usage. And, perhaps, will induce the OP to provide info that is more particular and pertinent than a generic "blame it on Quicken".
Particularly since his purported cause, file corruption that isn't remedied by validate or super-validate, isn't really consistent with a "File Not Backed Up" error.
You don't say whther you have ever looked in the Quicken Knowledge Base for the resolution to that error message. Here is a link to the relevant article.
My guess is that you have some internal corruption that is manifesting itself now. Use the Quicken Help and look up "recover corruption" and it will give you instructions on how to produce a clean database.
