Installing and Updating (Mac)
Computer died. I have a backup from a month ago. Can I restore and sync to mobile successfully?
Marys
My computer suddenly died and the most recent backup I have of my Quicken data file is about a month old. The mobile and web apps are current. If I restore the month old backup to my new computer and do a "sync to mobile", will it update my newly restored data file with the changes I've made over the last month?

Hi, Mary:
If your backup is of the actual file you used to sync to mobile with, then it should. You really are going to have to restore and verify your results.
Keep in mind that the mobile component is a small subset of your desktop data and isn't intended as a sole means of backup. I suspect you realize this based on your question. But, you are lucky in that you still have the desktop file required for the sync to work.
