= SUMMARY =

When a backup copy of a Money file is saved, the name of the backup copy is stored in the file and used as the default name and location for future backup copies.

This also occurs even in Money 5.0 if you restore a backup file.

= MORE INFORMATION =

If a Money file is copied to a new file name, the default name and location for backup copy will be the same as the file copied.

An example of this is:


 * 1) A backup copy of the file c:moneyis saved to a:backup.
 * 2) The file c:moneyis copied to c: moneymoney.
 * 3) The backup file name and location for the file c: moneymoney will default to a:money backup.mny.

If a file is restored either into a current file or a new file, the default name of the backup file will be the name of the restored file.

An example of this is:


 * 1) A backup copy of the file c:moneyis saved to a:backup.
 * 2) The file c:moneymoney.mny file is restored into the file c:moneymoney
 * 3) The default backup path and location for the file c: moneymoney would become c:money.

The recommended procedure is backup files be saved on floppy disk. The file name for the backup copy should contain the word ‘Backup’. The recommended backup file name for the file mymoney.mny is a:backup.mny.
