Re: [LegacyUG] Backup overwriting
And I found boxes asking whether to overwrite or not. Click on merge, select your profiles click merge, and the backup reminder in that window offers the two options. There are also boxes for the options of always. You might know which one I chose. I just put someone on the merge, did nothing about the second person, closed it and the undo merge option is even then under edit.

Re: [LegacyUG] Backup overwriting
I had both of the boxes checked. I may have checked them this afternoon. Everything is working just like I wanted it to work this afternoon, so I must have checked them when I was so frustrated. Now, to redo all the input. Thank you so much.Orinda On Wed, Dec 4, 2013 at 11:47 PM, Kathy Thompson kmthoms...@gmail.comwrote: When you go to back up your file, on that pop-up window there should be an OPTIONS button right next to the Backup button Click on OPTIONS and then select Append Date /or Append Time to default backup file name With both selected you can back up 10 times in the one minute and not overwrite another backup because each will have the unique time added.
