Why am I not getting asked to back-up when I close Quicken

Version R57.26 Build 27.1.57.26 I have not changed any settings, but I am no longer getting the box that asks if I want to back-up Quicken when I close it. I have to manually do it.

    Go to Edit > Preferences > Backup and set your preference. If memory serves, an earlier update changed this value to 0. The last update changed it to 3.

    Sometimes when updating the version of Quicken one or more Preferences does get changed. In my experience, this seems to affect backup settings more than other settings but I've seen it happen with other Preferences settings, as well.

    Go to Edit > Preferences > Backup > make sure the box is checked for Manual backup reminder > select the desired backup frequency (1?) for Remind me after running Quicken > OK. If your current Preference setting for this is different than what it used to be, then IMO it was likely a recent Quicken version update process probably changed it.

    Thank you. I did readjust it. It got reset to 3 from 1, I reset back to 1.
