What is the default location of the data backup files on a Mac and can they be encripted?

    The default location is a folder inside the folder where you have your Quicken data file. By default, it's in your User folder, in the Library folder (hidden by default), in Applications Services > Quicken. But you can set the location of your backup files in Preferences > General.

    I got fed up searching for the data file in a Hidden Mac folder.

    I created my own folder in Documents and moved the data file there...without any ill effects.

    But, just a note...I do NOT automatically sync my Documents folder with iCloud.  You need to uncheck that setting in Mac Preferences > Cloud.
