Transfer a single item to another drive.  I like to back up my most recent file in Quicken to my backup drive without transfering the whole application file.  I used to just drag and drop in 9.x but that is not possible in X. Carbon Copy Cloner wants to take the whole X app file in one chunk. DeJaVu had issues. All I want to do is move the update file in Qucken 2002.

Hey gmann, There might be a shareware program out there somewhere but I use retrospect and can select file changes by date or any number of categories. It also works automatically if you want it to, you set the preferences, it does the rest.

Greg, are you sure drag and drop doesn't work? Because I just did it. Opened two finder windows, in list view (taking through to the working drive Quicken file and the other over to the backup drive Quicken file) - dragged the file from the main drive to the backup drive and it copied. Both of my drives are internal, but this shouldn't make any difference. I did it from the Quicken backup files (I always back up each time I close the application) which are in my Documents folder.
