SUMMARY
=======
 
It is recommended that a backup copy of the Money file be saved each
time you quit Microsoft Money.
 
To make this easier, Money has added a backup option called
Back Up Without Reminding Me. This option automatically creates
a backup file without asking when quitting Money and you will
not be prompted to overwrite the existing backup file.
 
If the location of the backup file is invalid or if the disk is
not in the drive, you will be asked if you want to make a backup
copy, and if Money should overwrite an existing backup copy.
