Thanks Paul. I have been using TB! trouble free for so many years I'd forgotten to even look for a problem solution in the menus. I think I'm reaching the point in life where I can hide my own Easter eggs. The steps you suggest should of course produce a backup with a filename created by me. However, the *default* auto-backup filename shown in: OPTIONS PREFERENCES SYSTEM AUTO BACKUP ADVANCED seems to contain macro commands which should produce a backup filename containing the current date/time. As you'll see in a subsequent reply from Roelof, he suggests manually starting the auto-backup by changing the start time of the auto-backup to a close point in the future. Perhaps a minute or two - something I'll try shortly. -- Anyway, thanks for the geezer help.
