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.
Thanks for any help
Sincerely,
Steve JORDI

In my Q2008 H&B it looks like the minimum number of backups you can specify
is 1, maximum is 9.
So, there will always be at least one backup.

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.
Hope that helps,
Dave

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.
