Ron, Thank you...while I had been actively researching...instead of entering the data, I had been saving it...didn't realize that I had not entered any of the data.
As per your suggestion, I entered some new information...closed the file and VOILA, the prompt to backup popped up!!! As to the other suggestions, although viable, I personally found that that "nagging" popup backup reminder prompts me to act!!! Thanks again to all...
