Newbie question re; Backups

I am trying Money 2003 after years of Quicken and like it however I need
help with the backups. In quicken before closing the program I was able to
make a backup on to a CD however in Money the only option I have for the
additional backup (in addition to the default on the hard drive) is to a
floppy drive. Is there a way to change that?
Thanks

You can back up to a hard disk, and then burn that .mbf file onto
your CDR with the software that came with your drive.

With Windows XP, you can back up to the "hard disk" that
corresponds to your CD/R drive. Browse to the drive from "My
Computer". That will put the file onto a staging area on your hard
drive. Consider modifying the backup file name to incorporate the
date.

I did a search and saw earlier postings about this. Sorry for asking too
soon!
