How can I change this. I backed up to my c: drive, restored the file. How can I get my datafile to be on my c: drive and not one one and my auto backup to go to c: drive and not one note

    sorry, seems my datafile keeps going to one note. I don't want to use one note at all and want my datafile to be on the c: I restored from a backup, but don't see where the data file is saved so must be saving on one note

    In Q, there's 2 types of backups: Automatic (initiated by Q itself) and Manual (Initiated by you).
    The automatic backups will  ALWAYS go into a Backup folder, that's immediately below the folder where you Q data file is located.
    The location of the Manual backups can be controlled by you using the CHANGE button of the Backup dialog.

    Greg, thanks for the quick response. I have been online with quicken chat for about two hours and got no where. I don't see quicken there. i have quicken files under C: Program files (x86) then a quicken folder that has a lot of files. I think I should see a qdf file on my c: but I think it might be only in onedrive

    Open Quicken --> File --> Show this file on my computer. A File Explorer windows will open with your Quicken data file highlighted.

    Hi @""kathy q" ,

    See this FAQ:  https://community.quicken.com/discussion/7307115/add-your-quicken-information-to-your-posts-plus-how-you-are-connected-to-the-internet

    Add your information to a reply in this thread.

    Did you initially have anyone helping you set up Quicken on your computer?

    To state that the Quicken Data File / folder needs to be located on the C:\ partition where the operating system is located, is flat wrong. The Data File can be located on a separate partition, along with the Documents folder.

    Mine as seen from this operating system is located here: I:\My Documents\Quicken 2019 Data\ My Quicken Data File.

    My Manual Backups reside on my Mapped Hard Drive. The Folder is named Quicken Backup.
