Ok, so i went to back up my data and before i got anywhere i recieved this
message right at the begining when i was asked to insert a floppy: The backup
file name could not be used A:\ backup.bkf; Please ensure it is a valid path,
and that you have sufficient access. I was using the wizard and i belong to
the administrators group on this computer so i know i have access. i
installed a floppy and hit next and it gave me that message. I read all the
info on backing up data in my help topics before i started this process but
somehow i must be doing something wrong. Also i am using the NTFS file system
but when i tried to format the floppy the only option that it gave me was the
option for FAT. I checked to make sure my floppy was working properly and it
says it is so i am stumped. ANY help with this would be well recieved thx!
 
1. The file format for floppies is fat - always will be if you are using
Windows.
2. Why do you want to backup to floppies? You would need many hundreds to
backup the O/S.

If you knew as much as you think you know,
You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!

There's no help necessary. That's the way it's supposed to be and
there's nothing wrong with that.
 
when you start the back up wizard it asks you 2 put a floppy i found a video
tutprial on one of the links here that got me on the right path my only
question now is what do i use to backup to dvd once the back up is created?
