Hi Setting FH to do backups is: Preferences/Backup. It was a long time before I realised that FH wasn't backing up my data. I interpreted the option 'Prompt for Backup on exit' was to enable you to change the destination of the backup or choose not to do a backup. I think this label should be changed to something like 'Perform backups on exit'. It's further misleading because it doesn't 'grey out' the following prompt if you don't check the previous box.

' Have you tried simply restoring the Backup you create every time you close FH?

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?
