Is it safe/prudent to delete old copies of my Quicken backup files? If so, how far back do I need to keep copies of the backup files? I need to clean up some drive space, and I have old backup files dating back almost two years. Do I need any of these that are older than, say 30 days?
Thanks, Gordon

I keep mine about a month - or until I get the monthly statements from all my accounts and make sure everythng reconciles.
You can set the auto backup interval and limit the number of backup copies in Quicken preferences.
Thanks, this was what I was looking for. I have used MS Money for years, and am not fully adapted to Quicken. I'll try this backup copies limit and see if it will do what I want.

When I want to free up space, I just burn the ones I want to delete to a CD.
