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?
We haven't heard back from you in a while. Do you still need assistance?
Check back and let us know! Thank you.
