What is a .QUICKEN2017BACKUP file?
A .QUICKEN2017BACKUP file is a special kind of file made by the Quicken financial software from the year 2017. This file acts like a safety net for all the important information you have in Quicken. It includes things like your personal details, all the reports you've made, the settings you prefer, and every transaction you've entered.
Think of it like a backup plan. If you're using Quicken to manage your money, you're probably entering a lot of important information into it. If something goes wrong with the main file where all this information is stored (that's the .QUICKEN2017 file), having a .QUICKEN2017BACKUP file means you won't lose everything. It's like having a spare key to your house in case you lose the main one.
To make one of these backup files, it's pretty straightforward. In Quicken, you just need to go to the "File" menu, then choose "Save a Backup..." After that, you pick where you want to save this backup file on your computer. And if you ever need to use this backup file because something went wrong, you go back to the "File" menu, but this time you select "Restore a Backup..." Then you find your backup file, and Quicken will use it to bring back all your information.
The main program you need to open a .QUICKEN2017BACKUP file is Intuit Quicken, specifically the 2017 version since that's the version that created the file. Other versions of Quicken might work, but the 2017 version is the best match.
