Follow the Guide about making backups. You seem to be trying to open files midway through the process. ---

How about my attachments? Is your answer based on my attachments? i followed what the Guide says on backup, then I got that results (refer to the attachments). I need to know the details why I got those attachments, what I need to do? ---

My answer has nothing to do with your attachments. Your screen shots indicate you are trying to (1) obtain an unavailable application, (2) open a Manager backup file without having Manager installed on your machine, and (3) open a Manager backup file with Safari. None of those actions is related to making a backup, with or without attachments. All of those dialog boxes were generated by the macOS operating system, not Manager. ---

i have similar experience. Like after clicking backup button sometimes a dialog showed up to save or open the named.manager. At this point i cancel the backup then do again. or select the save option. He has clicked the ok button with open option selected. ---

There is no “OK” button anywhere in Manager. ---

That ‘ok’ button with the Open/Save dialog box. The exact box showed up when we download something with a browser. A box like this ![firefox-open-or-save-file-dialogbox for manager001](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/c/5/c5d61d923934b7b2319629f8aab783ea7f96be8b.jpeg) ---

@Doronto, it is a feature of the operating system, not the Manager program. You are trying to diagnose @ailebioline’s problem without any information on what was done. But what is obvious is that it has nothing to do with Manager. ---

Even in the box that you showed you can see: "Open with [Notepad (default)], while you should save the backup file not open it as mentioned by @Tut. It is a backup of all (assuming you kept the selected default “Attachments, Emails, and History” selected. Such backup is easy to import in Manager on any of its supported platforms. ---

- In Manager (browser) window after clicking the “Backup” button ![Screen Shot 2020-08-17 at 6.03.31 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/3/1/3124e6251c5470d2ab037c01636399e3fa8150d9.png) - The browser will present the user with and Open / Save Dialogue box (the exact appearance and options varies with browser and operating system) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/b/2/b24661f1315e021311cb8326370e7add54560f08.png) - The user must select **Save File** not “Open with”. Doing so will enable the user to choose a locations on the computer to save the Manager business file - In contrast if the user chooses “Open”, the browser will look for a program to open the business file with, and fail. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/8/4/84c79d59d27e2c449cb421d82354eff31754e99e.jpeg) ---

Yes, it happens as you find this. I was trying to recreate the sequence but forgot that. The only way to backup selecting save option. Thanks ---
