backup vs archive how to identify
Ken Riemenschneider
I back up my file daily to 3 different sources. I need to clear some of the older backups. How do I tell I have the most recent backup to restore? I accidentally opened 2 of the older backups and now when I open the program my data is OLD. How do I get back yesterday's data? Also please explain the code to the automatic backup name. Thank you.

The naming convention is:
The name of the backup file will be of the form:
YourDataSetName.DateOfBackup(-TimeOfBackup).moneydancearchive
The name is derived as follows:
YourDataSetName: This is simply the name of your Moneydance data set this is used as the base for the name of the backup file.
DateOfBackup: This is the date the backup was created on.
TimeOfBackup: This is the time of the backup, it is included if you select to backup On every close.
The file date/time are an additions source of information about when the backups were created
