 |
|
On behalf of the respected father... he is using Quicken 98 deluxe
which backs up only to floppy, we're in the UK. Have now rather
belatedly discovered that there is no support or upgrade path in the
UK any more. It all works fine at the moment but we think it is time
to think of a way out as I'm not sure floppy drives will last for
ever.
Can anyone recommend a route out of this without re-entering
everything or major investment? Please reply to group, this is an out-
of-use e-mail address, if you do want to reply to it insert a middle
initial of s and another underscore.
many thanks in advance

Buy an older version of Quicken used, upgrade, and then upgrade to the
latest version. |

The respected father should perhaps use a freeware backup program to
back up the data files to an external drive, e.g. a USB-connected
flash drive or hard drive in an external case, both of which should be
removed/powered off when not actively being used. Cobian Backup is a
great backup program, as is SyncBack, both free or available as a
freeware version. Google for them. The data files are usually located
under the program files in Program Files or wherever Quicken was
installed.
