Where do I find gnucash data?

[David T.]

John,

The files are presumably on the D: drive where you saved them. You can copy your files to another PC by using Windows Explorer to copy them to another location. Try looking also at Chapter 2.6 and 2.7 in the Tutorial and Concepts Guide. They cover the various questions about backups and copying information around.

HTH,
David

It has been absolutely fine so far -- never put a foot wrong -- but I'm beginning to feel that I must soon prepare for worst case. All data files (at least, those I know about) are backed up regularly on an external HD.
