Good thinking. In earlier versions that was a significant problem.
However normally the Money 2005 automatic backups on exit create
unique filenames, and maintain the last x number of backups.

File-Restore before exiting would let you restore without even
making an automatic backup.

In M06, here are my suggested settings:
Tools-> Settings-> BackupOptions
I suggest checking
x Automatically backup my Money file every time I close Money
Save in [a place on your hard drive ]
x Ask me before backing up each time*
x Compress Backup Files
Keep only the _20_most recent backup files [adjust to taste]

x Perform scheduled backups every _7_ days
Save in [a USB flash drive location]
x Ask me before backing up each time*
x Compress Backup Files
Keep only the _2_most recent backup files [adjust to taste]

Then periodically, perhaps once per month or more, copy your
latest backup (uniquely named by Money) to a
CDR. With XP, this can be a copy and paste operation. Otherwise
use the burning software that came with your CDR drive.

I strongly suggest use of a USB Flash rather than floppies. They
are bigger, so you don't have to swap media to back up. Plus
they are much more reliable (but not failure-proof).

* The reason I have Money ask me, is that I don't want to back up
each time I exit. If I went into Money 5 times in a day, I would not
want to back up 5 times, nor would I want to delete 5 other backup
files.
You will be given the choice to BackUpNow or to Postpone.

I just installed m2006 small bus. I did my first online update an
got duplicate downloads on different accounts. I did a merge o
accounts but realized that was not what I wanted. Is there any wa
to undo the merge of accounts? I may just un-install and start ove
but I don't want to backup my mistake. Is there any way to go bac
in time
