TICKET ARCHIVE -> Backing up big files
No Wonder User - May 4, 1998 - 11:42 am
Knowledge Level: Intermediate
Problem: Software
Computer Type: Apple
Model: MacQuadra 605
RAM: 32meg
RAM Enhancer: None
OS Version: System 7.6.1
Description:
This sounds stupid, but...
In light of Intuit's recent decision to scrap Quicken for Mac (why, why do they still have the world's stupidest marketing department?), I realized I'd better make an extra backup copy of Quicken 4 since I've kept all my finances on it for 5 years. I regularly back up my data, but not the program itself.
Turns out I have no backup copy (oops). Quicken 4 came installed on my machine and, although I did a generic hard drive backup (which resulted in useless large data files, unlabelled, taking up all my floppies), I much prefer to back up individual files to floppies.
I have no ZIP drive. How do I backup a large file (just over 1.4 Megs) to floppies? I really love this program.
Thanks much for your patience. :-)

You can use DiskCopy to copy a large file to two floppies.
You can get it here
ftp://ftp.info.apple.com/Apple.Suppo...tosh/Utilities
You might want to consider getting a Zip or Jaz drive. Makes things much easier.
Don't be to sure Intuit is going to scap Quicken for Mac. Keep looking at computer news, you'll probably find that they will continue to support Mac OS.
