Back Error - Unable to open a file to be backed up

Posted By mattbrookman over 3 years ago

Hello Fellow Sagers & Sagettes!

I'm brand new to using Sage. I created a new 2021-2022 file and it has no data (File size 1KB). When I normally close Sage it back it up my 2020 - 2021 with no issues.

When I close sage under this new file I receive the following error. Back up failed. Unable to open a file to be backed up.

Thank you in advanced!

Sage Version 2019.4

According to Knowledgebase Article 16761 it might be related to the path you are trying to back up to and the Windows security rights for that path.

Maybe try changing the path or let us know what it is.
