I have 2 USB drives. When I backup Quicken 2007 I get right failure disk is full almost everytime. They are 512mb each and have less that 100mb on them. I can back up on an old zip drive with no problem. Any suggestions. Thanks
Flash drive not only have a capacity size they also have a file amount size. In other words even though it is 512mb flash if you put several small 1kb file on it it will fill up even if you have 400mb free. Try deleting one or two files they writing to it.
Hmm, news to me. I've dumped hundreds of image files on my 512k thumb, never a problem filling it to the tippy-top.
Could it be that Quicken's back-up software looks at a drive and expects to see a certain amount of space available for back-ups (in other words, it doesn't calculate what the -actual- size will be) and if your free space doesn't offer that, it stops.
How many backup copies does Quicken keep for you? It's under Edit>Preferences>Quicken Program>Setup Backup . Maybe use a program such as DiskPie to analyze where the space is going.
Keep an eye on buy.com for deals. Right now if you use Google Checkout, you get $10 off a $30 order or $20 off a $50 order. Toss in a mail-in rebate and you can get prices way down - I got a 1GB SimpleTech drive for $6 after rebate and the Google coupon. But I can't recommend that particular drive, as it's ridiculously slow.
