Backup to DVD with Q2007 Larry Waibel 08-19-2006

 I just upgraded from Q2006 Deluxe to Q2007 Premier. I had been backing up to
a DVD on a drive controlled by Roxio Drag-to-disc and it worked fine for as
long as I've been using it (more than a year). Now when I try to backup
Q2007 to the same location I get a message "CD backup error! The CD drive
contains a non-writable CD. Please enter a valid disc into Drive G:!" There
is a valid writeable disk there as there had always been for Q2006. What has
changed with Q2007 that will no longer allow me to use the DVD-RW drive which
Roxio exposes as drive G:?

You must use the Windows CD Writing Wizard to backup directly to
CD in Q2007.

Sorry, I meant to add that although Intuit has not quite said it
directly yet, I think it's likely that Quicken will not backup
directly to DVD at all. I don't have a recordable DVD drive, so
I'm not familiar with what Windows can do as far as burning
DVD's is concerned, but my understanding is that Q2007 has
removed the ability to use third party software for CD's/DVD's:
it's Windows, or nothing.

There is no reason you can't backup to your hard drive and use
any means you like to put that backup on your offline media.

Funny how that wasn't on the list of all the improvements they made because
of customer feedback; NOT!

Quicken has supported backup to DVD and CD for several years. I have no idea
why they would want to remove that functionality. This is definitely a step
backwards. This feature was very useful allowing you to make quick backups.
Now you have to backup to a folder and then copy to the drives.
