Backup help

[Roger Oliver]

Windows 7 and 10. Mostly interested in a backup copy off the main computer
in case it crashes. Mine did, the Windows 10 machine. All my GC data was
restored from the Carbonite backup. Grateful it worked. The 7 machine is at
the school dedicated to accounting. I think there is something wrong with
the WinDrive external hard drive. Thanks!

What are the OSes on the source and target computers?
What is the external hard disk filesystem and how do you know it's
compatible with both computers?

I assume you are able to run GC on both computers, hence the point of
copying the db to the second one. E.g., I routinely archive my db from my
Ubuntu 17.04 machine to a 5TB USB drive so I can restore it to my Windows
10 laptop when I'm on the road and vice versa to sync my backup repository.

I can't seem to get the GnuCash files to back up to an external hard disk.
The files show that they are there but when I try to find them on another
computer to have a copy off site, the files are not there. What am I doing
wrong? Thanks, Roger Oliver
