Click to expand...

Any file name may be used...simply be careful of special characters and no periods (except for .bkf)
EX: My backup file of 5-14-05.BKF
 
It will give you the file name error if you try to back up to a CD as well.
You can back up to a CDRW if you format 1st with a UDF packet writting
software like Nero's INCD.
