I have what I thought was a backup file of my business books titled DesertDiabetesResources with file type showing as "file". I have now re loaded the system as well as GnuCash(2.2.9) but have been unable to retrieve my business books. I see in FAC and some documentation mentioning XAC files. I do not have this file anywhere. Is the XAC file the only way I could have got my information back or is there a way to do it with the DesertDiabetesResources file. 

Assuming you have files DesertDiabetesResources.YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.xac in
the same directory, then yes, just File -> Open the file.
