Here is a link to YouTube video to setup the built-in backup on Windows. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3iAiAqMtvg
While the demo is shown performed on Windows 11, it is good for backing up on MS Windows 7 and up. -----Original Message----- From: halatch1008 <halatch1...@comcast.net> Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2024 8:59 AM To: gnucash-user@gnucash.org Subject: [GNC] How do I do a back up of Gnucash?

A picture of a local attraction that is still there -- well,if the picture is lost, you can take another one.In the matter of GnuCash, the absolutely must back up is the data file withthe transactions, since this would incredibly difficult (if not impossible)to re-create. Most of us don't need to back up the backup files or the logfiles.But then there are the in-between files: any saved report configurations and your GnuCash preferences. If these were lost, they could be redone, butit may be a level of inconvenience. I was zealously backing up my datafile, and didn't even think about my preferences or saved report files...the computer died and I lost those. But since the preferences were mine, Ijust re-tweaked GnuCash on the new computer to be how I wanted it. Thereports I lost were more irksome, but I was also able to re-create them.They are backed up now, but still not with the same level of assurance asthe data file is backed up.As another user wrote, the documentation is good about where these threethings can be found.On Sat, Oct 12, 2024 at 11:50?AM Dan a1TNC <d...@a1tnc.com> wrote:> What files in my in my business folder need to be backed up?>> I'm running my Gnu Cash on a windows machine which have to be stored on the> local drive.
