Automatic backup is not working

The last time I tried to restore a file from my backup directory, I discovered that Quicken stopped doing automatic backups at some point. When I try to open the backup directory, I get a pop-up that says it doesn't exist, but will be created the first time a backup is done. However, I can find the backup file when I search for it through Windows, and the last automatic backup that appears to have been made was about two months ago. The manual backup feature is working fine.

I recommend using the Find Quicken Files feature to locate where all your data files and backups are.
Take a look at your Backup preferences to make sure that you have Automatic Backups checked. Also, review the parameters that control how often Quicken creates a backup and the maximum number of backups it retains.
Lastly, make sure it is checkmarked, and has a set of low numbers
However, I would still recommend backing them up beforehand.
