1. Each time I save a backup, the entire
file is saved and added to the location where ALL prior backups have been saved.
That means that in a relatively short time (a year?) HUNDREDS of files with
mostly duplicate data will be stored on the hard drive in the same location.
That is excessive and wasteful. A backup should occur each time new data is
added; it is not easy to remember to do so.
2. I can NOT delete the old files and, if
I "overwrite" one, the replacement file retains the SAME date and time info
as the old one. That means I can NOT recognize the LATEST backup. If I have to
reinstall the program, and restore a backup, I don't know which one to
use.
3. Other data programs that provide for
backing up, such as Microsoft Money, AUTOMATICALLY backup (by OVERWRITING the
last backup, and showing current date and time) EACH TIME THE PROGRAM IS
EXITED. This uses a few extra seconds of time, but there is no need to remember
the importance of backing up, and no added data gets missed.
. It is important to maintain a current
backup for restoration if something happens to the data file. It is also
important to avoid excessive, and duplicating usage of hard drive space.
Can you fix the program so that old backup files can be overwritten
and/or deleted when a current backup is made, and the new file shows the current
date and time? Thank you.
