To Rennie Brown That problem happens on a few computers, and I am not sure why. It may be related to some other program that you recently installed or that is running in the background. If you start the computer in SAFE mode, does it still happen? If not, that is a clue. You can use WinZip or any zip program to compress the *.DT6 files and copy them to your backup disk.

For years, I've done frequent backups without a problem... until now. When choosing to COMPRESS the data files, I get the following BK error message: zip error=-7 No matching files c:\BK6\*.DT6 Stop BK and stop Windows and restart computer and try again. Or if you have Windows Vista or Win 7, you may need administrator rights for that location. If problems continue, use the COPY and not the COMPRESS option. I stopped and rebooted twice, but got the same error. I downloaded and reinstalled the full BK program, but got the same error. I stopped and rebooted again, same error. I then chose to COPY the data files, and that worked. But the result is more files taking up 3-1/2 times the space. I use the Backup/Restore function to transfer my BK database between three computers, so I would really rather stay with the zipped method that I've been using. What may have caused this sudden problem, and how can I fix it?
