Unbidden backup

Quicken is backing up my file while the auto backup box is not marked in Preferences. Adding to this is the stupidity of backing up to the same path. How did it decide where the backup should go? Certainly not selectable from the dialogs in the backup boxes. What do I do when my HDD crashes taking everything with it?

There are a variety of ways to backup up your HDD in Windows On Windows 10, I use File History (every hour for a month), Backup and Restore (weekly for two years), and system images (monthly for two years) to external drives. I also use Duplicati to securely backup files to cloud based storage daily (automatically preserving 3 months of daily backups, the another 3 months of weekly backups, then another 6 months of monthly backups).
I use the Quicken's automatic backup (every 5 and keep 5) and Quicken's manual backups (remind every 3) to an internal drive for an easier undo of some change made to the data file - not for hard drive recovery.5

Also make manual backups. Mine go to a flash drive. I have several I rotate. And I also burn to a CD.
