Based on the changes to backup in Q2010 you might find you approach no
longer necessary. In the past backup created a series of files and it
made sense to use create a folder named for the date. But the new
Quicken creates a single file each time you create a backup and it can
automatically include the date in the name of the backup file.
Essentially giving you the same thing you were doing in the past, but
doing it for you automatically.
