Backup issue

Try two on the same day - I think you'll see the time added automatically.

When the option to automatically add the current date to the name of the backup file is checked, the second backup on the same day will overwrite the first one, and if the warning that it will overwrite is not disabled, you will see that warning. Of course the "new" file will have the time stamp of the second file, but that is not in the file name.

When you get to the box with the backup option to add the date, it is of course very easy to just add an "a" or whatever to the file name, so you have 2 files with almost exactly the same name. Be forewarned that each file is rather big ...

Weird - Just tried to do two, and got the above. However, here's a snip from my machine:

Interesting. I'm using Quicken Deluxe 2012, not Home and Business. Would that be the difference?

There are two kind of backups within Quicken - on demand and automatic. OP was asking about on-demand backup, where there is only an option for a date, but not for time. These backups can be placed in user specified location, even on another drive. Auto backups are run by Quicken itself, and are placed in the Backup folder beneath working directory (where Quicken data file resides). Time stamp is added automatically.

OK, Thanks! I've cleaned up some, and between that and other things I can't check on that now.
