Sue, The option you have probably "inadvertently changed" is in the 'Backup Family Tree File?' popup box on closing FH. There is an 'Always Prompt for Backup On Exit' tick option, which if unticked will inhibit future backups. As others have said, to restore the Backup Prompt use Tools > Preferences > Backup and tick the options.

' Have you tried simply restoring the Backup you create every time you close FH? ' This is what always happened to me, I was asked if I wanted to create a backup, some how the last couple of times I closed FH it is not asking. It just closes. I have checked that the Gedcom file has been updated, but would be happier if I also had the zipfile backup. Have i inadvertently changed an option somewhere? Best wishes Sue Howard

The "Prompt for Backup on Exit" option in Preferences (Backup tab) is perhaps a little misleading - as is the Help. Even if this option is checked, you will only be prompted to backup on exit if you have made changes to your data. We should probably make this clearer.
