| Quicken 2006 compressed backups - followup Lately, Quicken files are not really Quicken files - rather they are file bundles. Due to a lot of bad-mouthing of Stuffit archives on these forums (and the fact that Stuffit now had a new publisher making me concerned for the survival of the product), I'd been compressing my Quicken backups with tar/gzip. Unfortunately, I found that doing this does NOT produce a backup which (when restored) operated with Quicken 2006! Here is are some stats: What Size Works with Quicken 2006 Bkup 2006-05-28A.qdfm 9.3 MB Yes Bkup 2006-05-28A.qdfm.sitx 812 KB Yes Bkup 2006-05-28A.qdfm.tar.gz 812 KB No Bkup 2006-05-28A.qdfm.zip 1.1 MB Yes Anyway, just thought I'd post here since I had a boatload of backups stored in tarred/gzipped format which no longer worked right after a restore - forcing me to restore an old stuffit archive and forward recover. Maybe I'll switch over to Finder's Create Archive of ... format <sigh>. After all, the difference between Stuffit's 812KB and Finder's zip 1.1MB isn't all that much in this day and age. -- Verne |
