Harold, it'll work like a dream, but you have to _make_ the target folder first. Go into your flash drive and create an empty folder and call it whatever you like (eg OE backup).
Then in OEQuickBackup go File >Set Existing Folder as Backup. You'll get a dropdown box where you have to find and select the folder you just created. Then click "Complete Backup". That's it. The nightmare happens if you try to use the same folder on a future backup but forget to tick the box "Check here to overwrite backed up files" (assuming that's what you want). BTW I find it amusing that when you click Help it says "Not available yet".
