This sounds likely to me: you save it as abc.mny and the floppy is bad so the existing filename is A~C.mny Next time use a new -blank- floppy and see if it works.

| Re: Money 2004 Backup Hi, Money 2004 would not have had an update to my knowledge, however it is likely that the two backup files having different file names would be the cause of this issue. also if something has corrupted the backup currently on the floppy it could render it unrecognizable by Money causing it to duplicate the file if same name is being used.

I strongly recommend you use a USB flash drive or two for the backups. They hold more, and they are significantly more reliable. |

| Money 2004 Backup When I backup money to a floppy it would ask if I wanted to replace the previous Money file that was on the floppy with the new file.Now when I backup Money wants to add the new file without replacing the old file.The file is being compressed to 725KB,but with the old file still on the floppy Money asks for another floppy to complete the backup.Has Money had an update or change to cause this? |
