1. Make a proper backup of your GnuCash data (and any other data that you
value) to at least two separate disks, one local and one as remote as you can
manage so that you can recover if your disk or computer fails or your house
burns down.
2. Set up a routine so that backup happens frequently.
3. To safeguard against data corruption, keep old backups.
Now to the GnuCash issues:
Portable Apps has in the past patched GnuCash sources, so we generally don't
support their port. Supported GnuCash binaries are available from links at the
top of https://www.gnucash.org.
No "transfer" is needed, GnuCash is able to open files from a previous version.
For absolute safety we strongly recommend that you load into the last dot
release of each major series and run check and repair, then save and move to
the next major. Since your' starting at 2.6.19 you should first install 3.11
and load your book(s), run check and repair, and save before trying to load
them in 4.4.

John Ralls
