I have had the same problem for decades. I ended up getting a USB
drive and keeping my master copy there. I then have Quicken set to
back up after each use and to add the date at the end of the backup
copy filename. If I forget my thumb drive, I can make the backup copy
the master and copy it later.

I suspect when Quicken and Mint get completely melded, they will just
go online for Quicken and that will be the solution.

Not for those of us that are not going to keep their personal information on
some Q or MINT servers! If they force me to do that, they lose a long time
customer. You really want to have all your account information, passwords,
scheduled transactions, PINs, etc. online somewhere out of your control??
Not me!

Ditto!
I can't agree more.

I agree. From what I read, Mint is not supposed to replace Quicken, but
to provide an entry level web based financial program, with Quicken
being the high end program.

I've experienced success doing this with my wired
desktop/wireless laptop using a product called Syncback SE. I
sync the data files and haven't had any problem doing it this
way in years. I'm running Q2008D and sync between a Vista and
an XP system.
