Where are you trying to back up to?   Sounds like youve chosen a folder or drive that doesnt exist.

I'm having the same problem.  Finished and efiled the tax 3 days ago.  EF center shows return accepted but can't open it in home base and can't copy a back up.

I don't know if this helps but I have a flash drive that says file not found/bad path when it's too full.  Sometimes it does this even when it doesn't look full but if I clear a few things out it works.

Almost 3 years later, but wanted to thank you for your post.  I tried for over an hour to figure out my problem before finding your message.  My problem was a bad flash drive.  Tried a different one and problem solved.  THANK YOU!!!!!
