1. Is there a ?Backup? command? I could not find one except in the

No.  You just copy your data file, just like you would backup a Word or
Excel document.

No, you just need to copy the data file.

If you use Save As then the next time GnuCash opens it will use your
*backup* file, which is probably not what you want!!


   I'm a new  Gnucash user and that has been for this calendar year.
   Rather simplistic question re: 'copy your data file'
   Is this a manual operation?
   As In :Go into the Account Folder in Windows Explorer, Copy the
   Account.gnucash file to another folder location (labelled Copy or
   Backup)?
