    Quicken > Mac > Classic > Deluxe should be 'USER FRIENDLY' . Just adopt a variation of the ONLNE Backup file naming convention for LOCAL Backups. OR perhaps, for LOCAL Backups include the DATE (YYYYMMDD.) & MILITARY TIME HHMMSS where HH (00-23) MM (00-59) SS (00-59) giving

    Quicken choice as to Backup prefix plus .yyyymmdd.hhmmss ← as the suffix

    Thank you for converting my post into an idea post. Quicken > Mac really needs to be 'user friendly' - especially when trying to reload a particular backup.

    If one doesn't like the use of Military Time in the filename then perhaps replacing military time with

    AM-HHMMSS and PM-HHMMSS would work. where HH (00-11) MM (00-59) SS (00-59) would work.
