Warning message, “You are about to delete your file permanently and accounts copy not restored”.

Legacy KB ID: 2067

Question

Why do I get a message about deleting my QuickBooks file when I try and backup to a zip drive or memory stick?

Answer

This message comes up if you have the "verify" option ticked when at the backup screen and when backing up QuickBooks data file to a zip drive or removable media.

The reason for the message is due to QuickBooks trying to verify the validity of a backup. This is only designed to work when backing up on a floppy disk.

How did we do?
