SUMMARY
=======
 
When a backup copy of a Money file is saved, the name of the backup copy is
stored in the file and used as the default name and location for future
backup copies.
 
This also occurs even in Money 5.0 if you restore a backup
file.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
If a Money file is copied to a new file name, the default name
and location for backup copy will be the same as the file copied.
 
An example of this is:
 
1. A backup copy of the file c:\microsoft money\mymoney is
   saved to a:\mymoney backup.
 
2. The file c:\microsoft money\mymoney is copied to c:\microsoft
   money\their money.
 
3. The backup file name and location for the file c:\microsoft
   money\their money will default to a:\my money backup.mny.
 
If a file is restored either into a current file or a new
file, the default name of the backup file will be the name of
the restored file.
 
An example of this is:
 
1. A backup copy of the file c:\microsoft money\mymoney is
   saved to a:\mymoney backup.
 
2. The file c:\microsoft money\my money.mny file is restored
   into the file c:\microsoft money\their money
 
3. The default backup path and location for the file  c:\microsoft
   money\their money would become c:\microsoft money\mymoney.
 
The recommended procedure is backup files be saved on floppy disk. The
file name for the backup copy should contain the word 'Backup'.
The recommended backup file name for the file mymoney.mny is
a:\mymoney backup.mny.
