Harddisk full, Datafile corruption

[Marc Gorzala]

What about the gnucash backup, <filename>.<date>.xac?

OK, thank your for that reaction, but i don't know what i could do with 
these backup files. there are pretty much files named as you described. 
i take a look on the gnucash homepage, to read how to use my backupfiles 
but i don't find anything. i attached an output auf "ls" in my data 
directory to this mail.
the file what is corrupt ist called privat . (perhaps others too)
when you have a quick answer it would be nice, to give it to me.
