Peachtree Default Backup Drive

[SwivelingLeaf]

I am in the process of updating our office to Windows XP and I have run into a problem with Peachtree Classic 13.02
I want my accounting department to be able to run a daily back up to the D: drive (CDRW). This was previously done to a zip disk on F: drive. My system does not automatically recognize that there is a D-drive to back up to. Currently it recognizes A: and F: (which no longer exsists). Please advise.

Peachtree Classic 13.02
workstation: Win XP sp1
Server: Win 2000 Server

hm?
if u installed the CDRW Drive correctly it will appear as any other CD drive.
Right Click "My Comp" --> Manage... --> Storage
and look under drives and removablae storage
This is all from Server's Perspetice....if your users are accessing your company and u want THEM to run a backup then THEY must have access to your Server's CDRW...which means that you have to "share the CD".
In served anvironment I would not suggest this method since CDRW drives are not really meant for multi-user...it wil work given that your users never start to backup (brun CD) at the same time.I would rather designate a shared folder to where users can run backups and then simply have server do a scheduled "burining" of that folder.
In general..backups should always be done from Server Side and initiated by "server" not the user..
hth
All the best!
