I believe the backup path must be valid because backups succeed when the main Save is to ordinary harddisk. Also I can save to USB stick when using a new name - manually entered in SaveAs dialog - so I have write permission for that path. Actually I usually have option 'Automatic backups' off. I write to USB stick exactly because I don't want copies on harddisk. The message Cannot create backup copy is the more irritating as I don't want a backup and the real save fails quietly.

It is possibly something simple like you suggest but I don't see it (yet).
Thanks.

I have two problems. Firstly, I can save a spreadsheet on a USB stick when using a new name so permissions appear to be ok. I can also later load that sheet from the USB stick but when I try to save it I get error message "Cannot create backup copy!!!" and nothing saved. I can save the spreadsheet with SaveAs under a new name.


have a look in Tools - Options - OOo - Paths, are those paths all valid?
