Microsoft Money backup restore
I'm trying to restore a microsoft money file after a computer crash. All I have is a backup mbf file. I can go as far as the "name the restored file" prompt, but everything I put in it tells me it can't find it or cannot open it.

Installation of Microsoft Money 2003 on Windows 7
Microsoft Money 2003.
I am trying to install Money 2003 on my new computer which uses Windows 7. The program installs ok but when I try to restore the backup that I took before I got rid of my old computer, it tells me that the password is incorrect, which I know is not. I tried do all the compatibility, but stuff that you get further.Hi Valerie has,
Thanks for posting on Microsoft Answers!
1. did you assign a password while safeguarding the data?
2. which password you enter now? What is a password/Microsoft Money Windows administrator password?This problem may occur if the backup file or data file from a version of money that is later than the version of Money you are trying to use. Microsoft Money Plus is the latest version of the available money.
To work around this problem, install the latest version of money that corresponds to the version of your data file, or install the latest version of Microsoft Money. The money is designed to be compatible with some previous Money data files. For example, if you currently have Money 2006 installed on your computer, you should be able to open a Microsoft Money 2003 data file.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/318843You can download and install the trial version of Money Plus. You should be able to restore the backup file.
Once that the backup is restored, make a backup in this edition of Microsoft Money. Now, install the Microsoft Money 2003 and you will be able to restore it.

change the backup/restore disc
can I change this disk will my backup/restore point to? He uses my external drive now even if I didn't change it. I have a laptop & cannot bet that the external drive connects or is connected.
HI RJHinSA,
You can go there. This is guidance on how to change to the high places.
If you need more information, simply open help, support and type "how to make the backup.
Change when you save your filesWhen you configure your computer to automatically back up files, you specify a location where the files will be stored. You can change this location if you run out of space in the current location or you want to change the type of storage location (for example, a DVD, a hard disk on your computer or a shared folder on another computer on a network).
Click to open the backup center and restoration.
Click on change settings.
Click on modify backup settings and follow the steps in the wizard. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Backup/restore problem: some files not restored
My hard drive died. Fortunately, I had a recent backup. I managed to restore most of my files and also finally got access to my file of Microsoft Outlook data (due to gurus on these forums).
I'm now trying to recover the data for my financial program. I checked the files in the backup folder, and they understand the data I want to restore. However, when I go through the restored files, I don't find them. I try to avoid having to enter again about 1 1/2 years of data.
The backup was performed on a laptop Dell running Vista Ultimate and was stored on a USB external drive. It was made using the backup/restore program that comes with Vista.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
I'm now moving extra files on my USB key for added security.
I would like to know if there is an easy way to remove duplicate files that take up more space on my hard drive.
However, the original problem is now solved.
Thanks again.

ActiveSync let me backup once, then no more backup/restore option
Hello!
I use ActiveSync 4.5 and WinXP S3, but it is also on the SP2. I have a HTC P3300 with Windows Mobile 6.
The first time I plugged on the desktop computer, he offered to perform a backup and created a. STG file. The thing is, after that it is synchronized with the default options, which included crushing 0 Outlook 2007 contacts in my contacts 1700 in the HTC. I try now to get back them with the STG file but whenever I connect my HTC on the desktop, the option "Backup/restore" disappears on the menu 'options', which is kind of weird because if I disconnect the device I see the option (grayed out, however).
Any ideas would be very appreciated :(
Thank you in advance,
K.
.... I've been there and done that. Arrgh!
So, here is a link to the site XDA... phone mobile site btw. There is a STGviewer that should allow you to open the file and remove what you need.

How to use Windows NT Backup - Restore
Hello
I followed the instructions from Microsoft to download Windows NT Backup - Restore and have some to trun on removable storage management.But still no idea of how to make to restore .bkf files from my external hard drive to my laptop that is running Windows Vista. I created these Windows XP by using the backup and restore utility.
When I go to the "backup and Restore Center" in Vista, it still does not recognize these backup files. And I can't open them directly by going into the computer, then in the external drive and try to open the file.
Thank you
RowanAre you clicking on the program that you downloaded? I guess you need to run this program rather than anything to do with Vista backup and restore.

Where is the money backup files?
I use Microsoft Money Deluxe 2006 in Windows 7. The record money in Program files does not list the latest files from backup.
Where Windows 7 is hidden?They are stored there where money is set to store.
If the location is everywhere in the Program Files area, that they will not be saved. Program files in Windows 7 (and Vista) are a protected area.
Your Money data and the backup files should be stored in My Documents or another area that is not protected.

Windows Backup & restore leaves gaps in the backup period date ranges
I noticed that backup & restore leaves gaps in the date ranges displayed on the screen of backup periods under the function to manage the space. This means that files change during the interval periods have not been saved? For example, the screen shows currently backups and the following periods:
Jan 26: 12-18 Mar, 12 GB 10.40
Apr 04, 12-13 Apr, 12 GB 19.62
27 April, 12-27 Apr, 12 GB 05.16
May 06,12 - May 06,12 02.41 GB
May 27.12 - 17 Jun, 12 GB 03.41
What is the importance of gaps?
How can I tell that B & R is fully backup all files that changed since the last backup run?
How can I varify the 1st backup is a backup full?
How can I varify that the system image backup is up-to-date?
I save approximately once a week to a USB external hard drive. I use options "Include a system image" and "Let me choose" to select the files and have selected the option 'keep only the last frame system & minimize the space used '.
Hello
Backups are created in sets called backup periods. To maximize your disk space, Windows backup backup all folders selected, the first time it's run and then it only backs up files that are new or have been modified since the last backup was made. Periodically, Windows creates a new, full backup. Each full backup is called in a backup. When you view your backups of files, you can see all the backup periods with date ranges. If you decide to delete backups of files, you should always keep the most recent backup of the file.
