Backup Completion Message Missing
in [Quicken]
|
From: trvlnmny on 26 Apr 2010 14:55 I am using w XP & Q 2010. Periodically I back up my Q data to an external device. I am used to getting a message saying 'Backup Complete' or words meaning that. I am no longer receiving that message. I have checked Preferences but do not see anything that controls that. does anyone know how that is controlled as I would like to have it back? It is probably right in front of me but I am unable to see it. Advanced age I guess. Thanks for any and all help.

Intuit removed the message because some users, who backed up many times a day, didn't want to keep seeing, and having to respond to, the message. -- John Pollard news://<YOUR-NNTP-NEWSERVER-HERE>/alt.comp.software.financial.quicken Your source of user-to-user Quicken help

I have not seen this the case. The message exists on my machine. I am running Q2010 R9 and when I backup to a USB I receive the Backup Complete message. I see a check box that offers to provide the option of never seeing the message again. I remember that some one asked how to turn the message back on after checking the box. The consensus seemed to be that Intuit did not provide a way to turn it back on. Someone suggested re-installing Quicken to see if that would re-enable the completion notice. However, I do not remember anyone saying that it solved the problem. Art McClinton

I am temporarily (I hope) unable to run Q2010; but I know for certain that Intuit published the fact that they intentionally removed the "backup successful" message ... they provided that information in response to complaints that the message was no longer available. My recollection is that the message was removed in Q2010. I'm also reasonably certain there was never an option to remove, or recover, the backup successful message in previous Quicken versions (definitely not in Q2008) ... and I think not avaiilable in early releases of Q2010. I have not yet ever used Q2010 R9 (I last used R8), but my bet is that if the option to eliminate/recover the backup successful message is now available, it only became available in R9. Bottom line: I think some users of Q2010 who are not using R9 will not see the backup successful message, and will not be able to recover that message - without upgrading to R9. -- John Pollard news://<YOUR-NNTP-NEWSERVER-HERE>/alt.comp.software.financial.quicken Your source of user-to-user Quicken help

Art > McClinton Art - this is exactly how I remember it as well. I've run the gamut off all Q2010 releases upgrades as well. I've never 'not' seen it, nor did I ever turn it off. As far as not showing it, if I am doing a backup (and I too do multiples a day), I ALWAYS want to see the 'success' message of a backup operation. What's the point of doing one if one doesn't even care enough to view a success message! I don't want to take the chance it didn't work (but I do wonder if it failed does one receive such an indication at that point if one is NOT seeing the message?) -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Regards - - Andrew |
