Quicken & HP Easy Backup

[ps56k]

Since - Juan Wei - has created several threads of basically the same issue,

him trying to get Quicken up and running from a backup....

I wanted to at least post some info on the "feature" he is using.

 

This backup facility is called - HP Easy Backup -

 

Here is a random/basic link to the "hardware button" that is used with the software.

In addition,

a critical piece of info is embedded in the descriptive pages...

 

Restoring your files

HP Easy Backup allows you to restore files or folders from a previous backup.

Because the HP Easy Backup data is encrypted when it is stored,

you must use the HP Easy Backup Restore function to retrieve a file or folder.

????????????? You're way off base! I'm not trying to restore from a backup.

And I'm not using HP Easy Backup.

But thanks anyway. :-)

ooops - right - sorry -
it was the other guy with the various threads...
concerning a TurboTax 2011 backup -

--------
I'm trying to reconstruct my 2011 Turbo tax return which was lost when
my computer crashed. I had a backup: E:\HP Easy Save drive and I can
see it seems to contain the file with my data.
The identification on the E drive is "C.:... XXXX... tax
return.tax2011". (I had ordered the backups to be saved in their
original folders, so I'm stuck with this C: which might make a
problem).
I want to reload TurboTax 2011 and reconstruct it by using this data
on drive E:, but I can't seem to find a way to import the file.
Having the 2011 data would, of course, help with the 2012 return.
