Backing up your Quicken files is easy. To back up the files that Quicken uses to store your financial records, follow these steps:

1. Insert a blank, formatted floppy disk, a writeable CD, or a blank Zip disk into the appropriate drive.

2. Verify that the file you want to back up is active.

3. Start the backup operation.

4. Identify the backup floppy, CD, or Zip drive.

5. Click OK.

You will see a warning message if the file you want to back up is too large. In this case, you need to shrink the file, use a different disk, or use multiple disks.
