How do I overwrite a previously created backup?
I have multiple data files in Quicken. Most ask the question, Do I want to Overwrite? All of a sudden in my main account, it is not asking and is creating multiple backups of the same named data file on my external HD.
I asked in Quicken Assist, but the answer I received does not apply.

Check to make sure that Quicken is not adding the TIME to the file's name. There is a check box on the Backup pop-up that controls that option.

Splasher
That was the answer that I needed. All other accounts do not have time checked, but main account did.
Thank you.
BTW, I noticed that you are using Win11. I am on Win 10 and keep getting requests to upgrade.
Do you recommend?

I don't make recommendations on OSes. If I had my druthers, I still be running Win NT 4.1. 😀

I resisted the changeover from Win10 to Win11 for a long time, but then my main (tower) computer went toes up and I was forced to Win11. Win11 has some GUI differences that I find annoying - I guess programmers have to justify their big salaries by making things "better" - but Quicken works fine under Win11, if that's the thrust of your question.
