Question

How can I backup my QuickBooks company file directly onto a Compact Disc?

Answer

Don't use the QuickBooks Backup routine, QuickBooks can only support backing up to Floppy disc, the hard drive or via Online Backup. If you are using Windows XP you can simply backup onto the hard drive then locate this backup in Explorer and drag it to the CD. You can also make a straight copy of the company file onto the CD. Other operating systems may require third party software to use for writing data from HD to the CD writer.
