| Post subject: | Lost work in power outage |
This morning I did about 30 minutes work reconciling, and left the window open. Electricians came to do some work and I had a brief power outage. When I returned, everything I had done today in Checkbook was gone. Apparently I have to manually save if I leave CB open? I will spare the sarcastic remarks and simply say that was a rude awakening. Side note. I miss the simplicity of Quicken checkbook balancing. CB is not as easy or intuitive. OS 10.8.1 CB 2.3.2 |

Sorry about your data loss. You can set automatic backups in preferences. I also do a manual backup each time I perform some task in CBPro. I backup to Dropbox. Of course, having a Time Machine backup is also helpful. It's just a good strategy to work up a backup plan for important and sensitive data. |

CB saves when you quit the app. As with any other application, if you're doing a lot of work in it, SAVE (Command-S) occasionally. I once had a very specialized graphics app that I used at work. It was a great app, but crashed regularly. I learned to save every few minutes and never got out of the habit. |

The forthcoming update for CheckBook and CheckBook Pro, version 2.5, will save changes automatically. So, that's something to look forward to! |
