Get rid of Quicken

Back up using Gmail. Zip files and split if needed. Change name and extension so it is not identifiable. I have done this for years once or twice a week.

Not to hijack this thread to become a discussion about backup philosophy, but......

Every once in a while (I should be more diligent) I do cut a CD with my files on it and store in the safe deposit box. I often have thought of also PRINTING a copy of several of my key Quicken account registers (notably, checking) and saving the hardcopy PAPER (!) there as well. I believe paper to be the only storage medium that stands a chance of being useable in 20 years (!), assuming you can read it by then. But haven't done that yet.

I used to keep my Q for DOS files around on 3.5" drives and a 100meg zip disk at various points; can't read those in my house anymore.
