Yes, I do back up my primary TurboTax file quite frequently. I asked my questions to try to determine how frequently I should manually create a backup of that primary file. My experience with the corrupt file has taught me the value of having a backup file – the more recent the better.
If what you say is true for most people (TT autosaves the file every ~5 minutes), that’s pretty good. I can handle losing just 5 minutes of work. Nevertheless, I think I will also create my own backup at the end of each work session – just to be on the safe side.
Thanks for your (and VolvoGirl) help.
