Posted by Steve JORDI on February 20, 2008, 2:02 am Please log in for more thread options Hi, I told Quicken (2008 in my case) NOT to backup files. But still it does create backups without my consent. Any way to stop this stupid thing? I have a backup process on my computer that takes care of saving those files. But I don't want to back up the files I didn't ask for.

So, there will always be at least one backup. Bob >>> Hi, I told Quicken (2008 in my case) NOT to backup files. But still it does create backups without my consent. Any way to stop this stupid thing?

Under the Edit Menu, select Quicken Preferences. Under the Setup options, highlight the Backup entry. If you don't want any backups to be made, set the first box called "Remind after running Quicken" to 0. This should prevent Quicken from making any backups. I'd suggest reconsidering your backup methodology if you update Quicken transactions more often than you run your backup routine. If you set Quicken (the box mentioned above) to 1, it will make a backup copy each time you edit Quicken. This will make sure you can always revert back to the "last known good" file in case you screw something up. Personally I believe you can never have too many backups.

It won't. That option only applies to the Quicken "reminder" to backup, it has nothing to do with the automatic backups that Quicken makes. -- John Pollard First initial underscore Last name at mchsi dot com Please reply to newsgroup Posted by Dave on February 20, 2008, 7:38 pm Please log in for more thread options Steve...
