Hi All,

Just letting you know, I broke down and purchased Quicken Deluxe 2009
for $39.99, download price.

I have installed the program. And I have indeed tested the backing up of
the Quicken Data to a DVD-RW and DVD+RW Disks. The disks were preformatted
by Nero's InCD program using UDF-2.50 File System where InCD maintains
control of the Disk.

It now works fine.

But note: The speed to which you make a Backup of the Quicken Data,
depends on the rewrite speed of the DVD Recorder and the speed of the Disk
for rewriting to the Disk.

Bottom Line, it works. No more CD Backup Error.

Quicken 2009 Deluxe Release R 1

I back up to thumb drives. NO pre-formatting required and not subject to
fingerprints, scratches, etc.

They are also not subject parity checking or error correction of the
data. Thumb drives are very convenient, but they lack any type of data
protection or checking. A single bit failure can corrupt your data
without giving any indication of a problem.

For Quicken data that I back up each day, I use Karen's Replicator to
write the data to a DVD. Each day, I back up to a different directory.
At the end of the quarter, the DVD goes to the safety deposit box at the
bank. Then, I start a new one. A spool of blank disks makes them less
than $1.00 each.

For the rest of my operating system and data, I back up to an external
hard drive with Acronis True Image. About once a quarter, I back up the
entire operating system and program disk drive to one file, and the data
disk drive to another file. The external disk is moved to a place away
from the computer.

When my "C" drive went bad, the restore to the new drive had me running
within a few hours of getting the replacement drive. When I migrated to
a new computer, I had all my data installed on it within an hour or two.

After 39 years working on computers, including writing file system and
disk test programs, I've become very conscious of data integrity, and
well aware of the many failure possibilities.
