file in the Moneydance 2010 format. The only reason to do this
would be if you are trying to move to an older version of the
program. The second one (which I assume is from File -> Export
Backup from the menu bar?) makes a copy of your current entire data
set in the current format.</p>

<p>I still have a serious problem in that I can’t restore my
date without destroying the bank connection somehow.</p>
<p>Right now I have good communications with the bank, but only the
last 3 months of data that the bank saves. If I restore from the
backup, I lose the bank connection. Is there a way that I can get
all my data back from the backup file with out destroying the bank
connection?</p>

<p>There really isn't a comprehensive way to merge the data from
one Moneydance file into another, which seems to be what you are
asking. You could export all of your data in your old file in a QIF
format and then try importing it into your current file, but if
your data is complex this likely will not produce a good result,
especially if you have investment accounts. If you are going to try
this, make sure to make a copy of your current main data file
before doing so in case something goes wrong.</p>
<p>However, I don't quite understand the situation you describe. If
you can create a bank connection on one file, there's nothing that
should prevent you from being able to create that bank connection
on any other data file. It seems like the thing to do would be to
simply set up your bank connection on the file that has the data
that you want to use on it.</p>
