Yes. I would copy the backup to the hard drive first, and restore
from there. I have some mistrust of Zip drives.

When you restore, do not take the default location. Browse to the
location where your Money file should be restored to. The "My
Documents" folder is usually a good place.

Why bother with restore? Just move the *.mny file itself.

I have installed Money 2006 on a second computer that will be used in place
of the first computer that created backups both on hard disk and removable
zip disk. Can I use the latest removable zip disk backup .mbf file to
"restore" it to the resplacement computer for continued use?
