Hi Rhonda and Jane: This message is from forever ago, but I just wanted to say that no, you cannot choose which file format you want your files to be backed up in from the utilities menu. In effect, the backup option is just a mass copying option, so the exact copies of the files are backed up to whichever drive you specify. So you can't choose which type of files you would like them backed up as.
Also, you cannot back up the planner database, or any other keysoft database, so that it can be read on a computer or laptop. You would have to copy the records using templates into a txt or rtf file. If this has changed, please someone correct me because I'd only be too happy to hear that this has been fixed.
