I'm getting this error message. It's either my cr4ppy laptop or George not receiving uploads.

Snap! Identical.  I back up to an external passport drive just to be on the safe side.

Run there data fix program takes a few seconds and sorts out any problems,

Spreadsheets are fine until the computer's hard drive fails. There's a risk to everything, even a book record another windie still uses from his trad days. He can loose it.

I back up George to Onedrive usually once a week. I have George on a Windows Surface Go tablet.

I've been using George for 14 years,I have it installed on my laptop,which I back up to an external hard drive on a regular basis,I also have George installed on another PC so if The laptop goes tits up I can just plug the hard drive into the the PC ,then update the PC from the hard drive ,then I'm back working with minimal downtime.
I did use to pay George an annual fee to back up to there server,but found there was often a delay of a few days waiting to hear from Paul which could result in not being able to work whilst waiting for him to send me my data,by doing it the way I do I'm in complete control and find it works for me

I send back up an email to myself a couple of time a week end back up to my windows tablet once a week as it is good to have two current pcs 👍

[Spruce]

I don't think Paul is very well these days, so it's good to find other ways to back up your system. Its no disrespect to Paul. I have certainly appreciated being able to use George over the years.

I've had George since July 2006.

It’s not a problem spruce they are on each  iPad that we use  and also have paper copies never had an issue in 24 years 😂😂😂

[Bungle]

I've tried backing George up to another device before. Problem for me was it was all in gobblygooch  when I opened it  what am I doing wrong?

Splash, you're not really contributing much to the thread with your continuous 😂's

[Bungle]

I've found a Seagate external hard drive. I've plugged it in but I can't work out how to use it. I'm using a laptop with no disc storage.

Found One Drive. @Spruce how do you get One Drive to come up when you select 'Do you want to backup your data to a USB or other drive'?

[richard connett]

I use a usb stick/ flash drive thingy . Small pence from Amazon next day delivery if you’re stuck .

This is the way I do it.

Exit George.
Are you sure you want to exit George?
Yes.
Backing up your data - please wait.
Do you want to backup your data to a usb or other drive?
Yes.
I have George on C drive on my tablet so I backup to that by pressing OK.
Backup complete.

Then I go into "This PC" on the front screen, then double click on local disc (C).
George is on my list toward the top which included program files and Windows.
Click on George and all of George comes up.

Backup is on the top of the list of folders. Open that and there is a single file called Backup.geo. I click on that and drag it into OneDrive which is in my column on the left.

Open one drive and the backup file is there. You still have a backup saved file on George.

The strange thing is that George will not allow me (as far as I can see) to backup directly to Onedrive.

I'd be concerned that I would lose a flash drive tbh. In the early days I would email myself a backup copy. My emails are also held on my internet provider's servers, but I haven't done that for years.

The thing I do think about is when George and the latest Windows OS aren't compatible. My tablet isn't able to run Windows 11, so unless Microsoft change their software, I will have to run Windows 10 as long as I can.

I forgot to add;

Every time you back up after this by transferring your backup into Onedrive, your program will ask you if you want to replace your old file with the new one. I also do this. All I'm interested in is having the latest file as a backup.

I have used this backup when transferring George onto my Surface Go tablet from my old computer running XP.
