Upon a closer look, I think it's the AutoCopy setting you want to change. I just compared the settings in my Quicken.ini file to those in Quicken Preferences, and it appears that AutoBackup refers to how many times you can run Quicken before being reminded to backup (if you're not). Max number of backup copies corresponds to the AutoCopy setting in Quicken.ini.

Hope this helps,

Do it work to tell Windows that your backup disk should be an EFS (Encrypted File System)?

Don't know the answer to that one, as I don't use Windows EFS....

Check it out on microsoft.com as I believe EFS is part of Windows since WinNT. (I would use it but I'm alway forgetting things like passwords!)

Yes, you're correct. It's been part of Windows for a while. Your reasons for not using it are mine exactly. :-) Lose the password, and you lose your data. For now, I have other means of securing my data. :-)
