In M07: Tools-> Settings-> BackupSettings
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]
Make sure the SaveIn field is a place that exists. Browse to a
location if you are not sure.

x Perform scheduled backups every _14_ 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,
but Money 2007 does not automatically trim to USB as it should]
Make sure the SaveIn field is a place that exists. Browse to a
location if you are not sure.

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 drive 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).

Default MS Money 2007 Deluxe Scheduled Backups

I have scheduled backups set to perform a scheduled backup every 14 days.
I suppose the files wrote by this scheduled backup are named
"<name> Backup <n> .mbf". Most recent such file I can see in my directory
are more than 6 month old.
My settings seem correct.
How can I tell MS Money to perform scheduled backups again?
