George -
Go to Google and do an 'Advance Search' in the GROUPS (not the WEB) section.
Use keywords like 'CD Backup' and restrict your search to groups that have
the following argument "*.quicken". You should get back a LOT of old posts
that might help you - as I said earlier, this has been a topic that's been
discussed many times. For example, here is one thread from 6/7/2007 that
help = but again, there are many others!

Backup to CD changed for Q2007. Here is what Intuit has to say.
In order to back up directly to CD, your CD burning software must support
packet writing. Issues backing up to CD are generally due to the software
you use not supporting packet writing, incorrect configuration of your
burning software or incorrect formatting of your CD. If you know how to
format your CD and configure your software to support packet writing, you
can back up to CD directly from Quicken. If you don't know how to do this,
either consult the documentation for your CD burning software to learn how
or use a workaround to back up to CD.
The workaround can be found at

Thank you John. I am using Roxio's Easy Media Creator, and as far as I
know, it supports packet writing. I have no problems with any other
software. It seems to me, that this is just a bloody minded change just for
the sake ot it.
I'll see if I can live with the workaround. If not, I'll revert to the
previous version, and abandon any future upgrades.
Thanks for your response
Brian
********************
Another workaround would be to backup directly to your hard drive and then
burn the file using Roxio manually. This also gives you 2 copies of the
backup file. "

George, I've had the same problem with Q 2004. It worked when I
installed it, but it stopped working after one of the updates. I backed
off the updates, and it worked as long as I didn't reinstall it.
When I upgraded to Q2007, I had the same problem again. Quicken support
was pretty useless. Reluctantly, I installed "Karen's Replicator". This
is free software, available on the Internet. It turned out easier, and
more reliable than Quicken's backup, and I've used it ever since. Just
Google "Karen's Replicator" and you should have backups working within a
half hour.
I use a destination folder description of
E:Quicken Backup<yyyy> <mm> <dd>
This creates a new folder based on the date, each time I perform a backup.
Hope this helps.

While I have not had the backup problems described (I mostly skipped 2005
and 2007), I am also very enthousiastic about Karen's Replicator. Just
make sure you back up ALL the files that need it, not just the qdf

I agree. Karen's Replicator is a "Must Have" app in my book......
