"Simple" Backups & Restores.

[Ken Farley]

I don't know what an "xea" file is. Is that the extension at the end of 
the file or part of the name? When I traverse over to the directory 
where I store my Gnucash files, all I see is files with names like 
"MyAccounts.gnucash" and "MyAccounts.gnucash.2014xxxxx.log". For 
information purposes, I'm using the program on OS X 10.9. Perhaps the 
files you refer to are a result of running on other operating systems, 
or a result of some functionality of Gnucash that I do not use. Why not 
just copy them over, try things out, and see if there are any problems?
