In my humble opinion, If you put each GnuCash book in its own directory, and set the GnuCash preferences to automatically remove older backups and logs, there is no need to move them. BTW, you may be interested in my utility for encrypting and compressing most of the files you need to backup a GnuCash book to an off site cloud storage folder (I.e. Dropbox, OneDrive, Google drive or iCloud) called BackupGnuCash: See https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Published_tools. You do have to be reasonably computer proficient to install my utility. Also there is a lot of backup info in https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Backup Regards, Chris Good _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
