I would suggest saving it to a new folder on the C:\ drive on both computers (ie. C:\simply accounting data), and that folder will work on both computers.

I am doing the same sort of thing as this thread.... What confuses me, is that Simply asks for a new file name each time I restore. Will that not get confusing when opening your program each day? Before trying to backup, restore on different computer, backup and restore on original computer, the file I opened was always the same as when I first set up the program but if I keep renaming I will end up with a long list of files to choose each time....right?

GammaDi:

You can simply name it the same name if you wish when restoring. If you want to keep the original data file on your computer then you will have to rename it. Just remember when you give it the same name you are actually replacing the original named data file.

Hope this helps!

Thank you.....I guess if I want to keep just one name on the computer, that is where the backups before and after are so important.  I appreciate your hlep

Absolutely, just make sure you have multiple backups in multiple locations. You are most welcome!
