Please log in for more thread options Hi, Chris.
In early versions, Quicken's Backup included a compression function, so the
files could not be used except by Quicken's matching Restore process. For
the several most-recent versions, files created by Backup are the same as
those created by Quicken's Copy - or by Windows outside Quicken. So, if you
can point (or browse) to the complete group of files in a single folder, you
should be able to Restore them. (I've never split backups among multiple
floppies; I don't know what effect that has on the ability to Restore.)
You said 9 files? My system shows only 5 or 6. The number varies with the
way YOU use Quicken, but I haven't heard of anyone having 9 files in their
Quicken fileset. You must be a power user! ;<} What files are listed in
your QuickenBackup folder?
