OFFSITE DATA BACKUP - Backup Instructions for Microsoft Money.

Backing up your Microsoft Money installation

This general Money backup procedure applies to Microsoft Money 99 and later. Other versions may vary. If this backup procedure does not match your version of Money, please call Patty Cray at Multi-Link-303.831.1977 for assistance.

Money 99 and later provide new strategies for backing up your valuable Money data files. With Money, the default backup scheme is to back up to your hard disk each time you quit the program, and then to back up to an additional location (like Multi-Link offsite date backup) every 14 days.

1. To configure your backup options, click Options on the Tools menu, and then click the Backup tab.

2. Check "Automatically back up file to hard disk on exit" box, then select a place on your hard drive where you want this backup to be saved to. This is the folder you will want to tell Multi-Link online backup to be sure to backup.

3. (Optional) Select 'Prompt me before backing up each time' (we suggest leaving this unchecked).

4. (Optional) Select 'Make my file small...' (we suggest checking this box).

5. (Optional) 'Automatically back up to floppy every XX days' (this is up to you if you want a floppy backup. By doing steps 1-4, you will have a backup on your hard drive and a backup with Multi-Link offsite backup already.

6. Be sure that your Multi-Link offsite backup has the file or folder/directory selected for backup.
