    I am using the UK updated MS Money 2004.  When I try to back up to a USB stick it tells me my USB is full and requests the next 'disc'.  I am using a 16GB stick which is empty.  Any ideas?

    Anything larger than 2GB is not recognized properly in the older versions of Money's backup routines.   Solution: somehow insure that your USB stick has less than 2GB of free storage space or use a USB stick no larger than 2GB.

    Thank you for this.  I am confused as I had updated my MS MOney to the last UK version (similar to the US Sunrise) and assumed that there would be no problems with this.  Is there a workaround?

    Regards,

    The solution was the workaround.  As an example - copy a 14GB movie file onto the USB stick.  When I stated "older" version, that just meant anything other than Version 17.

    Another trick is to use another tool that can create a mountable device from a "file". One of such tool is TrueCrypt:

    • Use TC to create a mountable device that use a file a on the USB stick. Make the device smaller than 2G.
    • Mount the new device
    • Use the new device for money backup
    • Bonus, your backup content will be encrypted.

    By default, Money 2004 will not write (backup) to any USB stick that is larger than 2 GB.

    Agreed. I have done this myself.
