Guest Charles W Davis Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Windows XP unknown service updates. I also haunt the Intuit QuickBooks forums. In the past two weeks there have been a number of folks posting that they can no longer create a QuickBooks back up file. "I have Quickbooks Pro 2007 on Windows XP. I constantly get an error message that "Quickbooks was unable to backup company file" This only happens with the largest of the 3 companies that I have. I have tried all 3 different levels of verification. I have tried it on two different computers. I have tried backing up to different locations, different computers and an external hard drive. Once in a blue moon, the backup is accomplished. The size of that company file is 504124 KB." "I am also having problems with the backup freezing at 99% with no error messages. I have a large file size 1.6gig and when the backup gets to 99% it stops. Task Manager indicates the software is not responding. I waited two hours at 99% and finally terminated the process. I am copying the file manually until I find a fix. I just copy the file using windows explorer from the active QBW to a seperate folder each night." "Can't backup. It gets to 99% and hangs. No error message. I tried to verify and it fails - tells me to rebuild. i start the rebuild and it tells me i have to create a backup first. when i try to backup it gets to 99% and just hangs there.. everytime." Any thoughts would be appreciated by a lot of folks.
Guest LVTravel Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Re: File size problems Check QuickBooks newsgroups but if they don't have any answer...... What is the format of the drive (FAT or NTFS) or where is the drive that you are trying to backup to (network operating system or local?) I have had the newest Quicken checkbook product fail to backup across the network to a NAS drive also. May be something within their program's backup feature causing this. This has not happened every time I have done a backup but it is enough to cause concerns that did not happen with the previous version.

Guest Charles W Davis Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Re: File size problems LVTravel, Those quotes came from the QuickBooks Forum (newsgroup). I saw no answers from the participants or the Intuit employees who do frequent the Forum.
