Does Quicken push out an update evey single day of the year?

Quicken Mac automatically backs up your data file before performing an update. It also moves the prior version of the application to your Trash, so you can retrieve it in the unlikely event you need to revert.
And of course, they don’t release updates nearly as often as you suggest. Since last June, there have been 5 feature releases and 15 bug fix updates— so 20 updates over the past year, or an average of one every 18 days. And you can skip installing an update when it prompts that a newer version is available.

After each major release, there are usually a few follow-on bug fix releases over the next several weeks - the previous 7.0 release went up to 7.0.4, so 4 bug fix releases for that one.

Yes, those were the days, but my point is still valid - I think. Do I have to back up my whole application and data file? Can I trust and verify the update? Can I archive all my previous data? Do I have to do it?
I’m an old fart that started programming in the 1960s, so I have lots of decades of misplaced trust. I’m happy backup and archive one a month or so, but daily updates imply far too much work or far too much trust.-1 -
