Backing Up Files & Dropbox

Postby souwalker » Sun Mar 14, 2010 4:53 pm

Hi

I am using 'Dropbox' between my office laptop and my home desktop.

I got a NAS setup over the weekend and only now am thinking of backing up my data. :oops:

C:\Documents and Settings\p_desouza\My Documents\My Dropbox\YNAB

C:\Documents and Settings\p_desouza\My Documents\YNAB

Currently I see 2 directories where my ynab data file is kept and they get updated accordingly.

Which one should I backup?

Which one is the file that you're actually using? Likely the one in My Dropbox? Backup whichever one it is that you're using, and probably delete the other one so you don't get confused later.

If you're using both, then backup both.
