ok mark,

how do you make a backup in gnucash?  extremely new to it.  Thank you

How do you make a backup of all the other user data on your computer? <<some day your drive will die>> You should not be looking at different backup of user data from each application. You want a GENERAL back-up procedure.

You have a lot of decisions to make. How often will your data be backed up? To what will the data be backed-up, the cloud? An external drive? If the latter, a second copy sent offsite?

The point I am making is that if you are backing up ALL of your user data, you don't need something specific to gnucash (gnucash user data just a special case with "all")

There are TWO fundamental kinds of back-up, all as of some date/time and "incremental" (every time a file is changed). The latter takes less space but will require software. The former you can even do manually.
