Will Quicken back up my Quicken file if it is located on a Toshiba external hard drive that is accessed via my desktop computer?
Hello @Jerry Pederson,
Thank you for reaching out with this question! To clarify, the title of your post implies that you're asking about Quicken Online Backup. That is a separate subscription that backs up your Quicken file to the Quicken cloud. For more information about Quicken Online Backup, please see this FAQ: https://www.quicken.com/support/quicken-online-backup-frequently-asked-questions/
If you're asking about Quicken's regular backup feature, then yes, you should be able to back up to an external hard drive. Since external drives are assigned a drive letter when you connect them to your computer, you may need to verify that the file path you're backing up to is still correct. For more information about creating a backup, please see this article: https://www.quicken.com/support/how-backup-or-restore-your-quicken-data/#section-windows-2
I hope this helps!
Clarification please.
Is your working data (not the backups) on the external Toshiba drive or is that where you want the backups to be put?
