Success! I was able to replace the DBNames.cfg file and automatic backup is now churning through the various stores! Here are the steps I took, but remember that you do this at your own risk and I cannot guarantee success or no further problems . Open the folder C:\Program Files\Pervasive Software\PSQL\DBNamesDirectory (if you're on 64-bit, it will be Program Files (x86) ) on the computer hosting your Peachtree files If the file ~PVSW~.LOC is there, go into Services and Stop Pervasive PSQL Workgroup Engine ( If that file is not there, you do not need to shut down the service unless Windows complains when you try to move the file) Move the file dbnames.cfg to another location (I do not recommend outright deleting it, in case you need to put it back) If you shut down the Pervasive PSQL Workgroup Engine service, Start it Within Peachtree, manually open each company you need to back up. Peachtree will automatically create the dbnames.cfg file and add each company to it as they are opened Once you have opened each company individually, close PeachTree Run Automatic Backup as needed I don't know if it's 100% necessary to open each file, but I did just in case. If I happened to forget to open one and it fails to backup, I will post an update saying that you have to open each one for sure. I don't know how this problem began, but because we deal with a lot of companies and it's been four years of using that one file I imagine it got corrupted or overloaded somehow. It could have been something I did when I restored a company on Wednesday, or that could have just been coincidence. Either way, I'm glad I have it fixed, I hope I didn't annoy anyone with my rambling, and hopefully this helps anyone else that might have the problem.
