Dear MoneyDance team

I continue to love your product! One piece of help please. For my own peace of mind, I would like to create a backup of my data in case I lose DropBox etc. Currently, I have MoneyDance on my Mac, iPhone and iPad and everything (I think!) is kept on DropBox. How do I create a backup?

Thanks
Nigel
