Database backup fails when backing up to a CD

The following error appears when backing up your files to a CD. It happens when you already have a file in the folder with the same name and it's set to Read Only.

Backup to CD: Database Backup has failed. Access to the path "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning\%filename.zip%" is denied

To resolve the error:

 

  1. Select Back Up from the File menu. The Back Up Data File dialogue box will appear.
  2. Click the Browse button and select your desktop. Click Save.
  3. Open Windows Explorer.
  4. Drag the backed up file from your desktop (in the right window) into the CD burner (in the left window).

 

Alternately, you can go into the path specified in the error message and deselect Read Only.
