I am trying to backup my quicken file to a usb drive using the
"Quicken Backup" tool but I keep getting an error stating "Enter a
Valid Name". I cannot understand why it is doing that, anyone else
having this problem? I also tried backing up to my laptops hard drive
but I received the same error.

Thanks, Sam

You are selecting the file you want to back up - right?

Was the usb drive attached when you started Quicken?

Yes I am selecting the file, the current file is selected by default
but I also tried browsing and selecting the file but it did not work
either way.

No the usb was not attached when I started quicken but I just tried it
again with the usb attached before starting quicken and I received the
same error.

Any other ideas?

What version of Quicken are you using?
Are you using the browse feature to select the data file and the backup
directory, or are you typing them in? Does the drive name and file path
look correct.
Are you able to write other files to the USB drive?

I'm using Quicken 2005 Premier and have had no problems backing up to a
CD or to a Flash Drive plugged into a USB port.
