What backup means is that I have copies of the data file squirrels away
wher Gnu Cash can't find them. I restored yesterday's file to
the target directory where GnuCash does look. I got back the same
closed account. When I let GnuCash i on the secret as to where
the backups were, it ran the prior day's properly. I then used
"Save As" to put it back where it normally resides and remove
GnuCash from seeing the backup archines.
Why it worked the second way and not the first is the mystery.

ToddAndMargo,
GnuCash keeps information about some details such as which account
windows were left open and their size and locations on the screen when
you closed your data file in a different folder on your computer. This
information is called your preferences and it is a good idea to
occasionally save a copy of them in a backup folder. There is
information online at gnucash.org <http://gnucash.org> about how to find
your preferences depending on the computer os and the version of GnuCash.
If you have saved any custom reports you should also back them up in the
same way as you back up your preferences.

Hi David,
Ah Ha! You pegged it:
~]$ find . -iname \*gnucash\*
./.local/share/gnucash
...
./.config/gnucash
Thank you!
