"isn't it true that the virtual file structure -- which could be somewhat
complex to re-create or remember -- will be lost if not
somehow backed up to something?"
No it shouldn't be true. you build the files from scans or lists, which can
be run every night if you liked. That is power of QP, the scans that you can
produce and run giving you the best candidates for trading.
so develop some scans that filter your stocks to the best fit for your
mindset.
