Hello,
Quickbooks has always had an options button you could choose before starting a backup. It let you choose the folder to back up to and also to choose whether or not you want to verify your data. Since upgrading to 2024 the options button has disappeared.

I see what happened. The image you show has an actual button, which is what mine used to look like. Now it just has Change your current backup settings on the bottom in a very, very small font and there is no button. It is just the words (like a link) so I didn't notice them before. I hope they put the button back. It will be confusing for many otherwise.
