[GNC] Backup recovery

[David T.]

I don’t know. What is backblaze?

Based on the info in the FAQ to which I referred, it appears that on Feb 8, 2019, you opened a backup copy of “GNU 5 Feb 2018”, which itself was made on March 5, 2018, made some changes, and saved from that backup. I don’t know your workflow or immediate purpose for doing that; in my situation, if I had opened a backup file from 11 months ago and made changes to that file which I then saved, I would most likely have f**ked up. YMMV.
