I am using Quicken Personal Plus 2007, Release R1. Australian edition.
When I backup (FILE...BACKUP) I get the message "Not Backed up". However it
does appear where I have directed it too, "C:Documents and SettingsDaveMy
DocumentsMY BACKUPQUICKEN" twice with the same date.
They are: Once QPH,QEL, HCX, & QDF Data file.
The second QPH, QEL, HCX, IDX.QIN & QDF Data file.
Is this a problem?
Can it be fixed?
Should I need to use backed up files, wich ones please?
With thanks,
Oldzac.

The majority of users here are using U.S. versions of Quicken,
so definitive answers may be difficult to get.
My response is based totally on U.S. versions of Quicken.

You can check this Intuit kb article to see if anything applies
to your situation.

This should be impossible. Windows does not allow two files
with the same name.extension in the same folder.

The QDF, QPH, QEL files are part/all of your Quicken data
fileset [QDF contains most of your data; QPH contains security
price history; QEL contains online info]. The IDX file is an
index file created by Quicken, it does get backed up, but
nothing is lost if you don't have it ... Quicken will create a
new one next time it opens that fileset.
I don't recall any version of Quicken ever having an HCX or a
QIN file; perhaps they are left over from some time in the past
or some other activity besides a Quicken backup. [Q2007, US has
an NPC file whose purpose I don't know, it's always been empty
for me. That file is not present for Q2008]
In the U.S., if you had used the Quicken Tax Planner, you'd have
a QTX file in the fileset.
You could recover the most important part of your data if you
had only the QDF file (Quicken will recreate any other files,
but they will be empty). Still, the best bet is to have all the
files that Quicken creates when it does a backup.

You do not need to know which Windows files are part of the
fileset; in Quicken, you always work with (specify) just the QDF
file. If you want to Backup, Restore, Find, Open, etc., you
specify the QDF file (its name, such as "QDATA"): Quicken knows
what other files are part of the fileset and either opens them
if they're present, or creates new, empty, files if they are not
present.
