Perhaps you should be saving different versions of your work, not just backing it up. For instance, save the last three versions of your files. if you find the latest version is corrupt, you can restore to the next previous version.

Hello,
Can someone explain a problem that occurs for me from time to time.
For example, I keep my finances on Quicken 2004 on my G3-mt using OS 10.2.8.
I use an Iomega disk to back this up. When I have a problem and the original Quicken information gets fouled up, I put in the disk to get back the right information. But, the information on the disk now also shows the fouled up information. If I manage to correct the information by some other means and I put in the disk to correct the information on the disk, I find the information on the disk is already corrected!What good is a backup disk if it doesn't hold the proper information but simply reflects whatever is on the computer?
Thanks
Wilton
