 New to Quicken user. I set the number of backup copies to 4 expecting
the older ones to be automatically erased
as in Money. Now I find none have been erased. What to do? BTW I
renamed the backup files and location.

Thanks for the quick response but I did this already. Does the naming
and/or location of the backup files effect this?

I'll bedamned, sure enough, the above doesn't limit the number of
"external" backups.

You have misunderstood the purpose of the "number of backup
copies". It has *nothing* to do with the backups that you
initiate; it only pertains to the *automatic* backups that
Quicken makes.

Quicken will not play any role in the number of backups that you
initiate ... other than to "remind" you to make them according
to the "Remind after running ... " option in your Quicken
Program options.
