Diana, I can’t be sure because there are several options here. Is it creating a file with a file type of “QBB” somewhere in your system? If so, that is a regular QuickBooks data backup…

Can you explain to me what kind of back up my Mfg Premier 2009 QB does every time I close the program? Is it something that I can use if QB corrupt? So far I was planning my back up on the second hard drive. I have a new business, and was thinking for a last couple of days for my back up plan and how to do that. I am glad I found your info. Thank you.

Shirley, that would depend on what the error is, and what method you are using to make a backup. Sometimes you get errors doing a QB backup to a flash drive. The answer is to back up to your desktop and then copy to the flash drive. Sometimes you have bad data in the QB file that prevents a QB backup. The answer is to look at your QBWIN.LOG file to see if there are errors that can be cleaned up.

Thank You C. C. Russell for your answer. I am new to this community but must admit that I am pleased with the help.

I have lots to learn and will soon return the favor.

Thank you for addressing this issue. We back up QB on the server weekly, and have subscribed to an offsite backup service that occurs during the nighttime hours. All good, but I’ve wanted to do a daily on removable media for some time. My boss doesn’t seem to have an urgency regarding this matter. I’ll show her this article. Thanks, Donna
