I am running Gnucash on my desktop computer but when I try to migrate my
files to my little netbook I can't seem to do it.
I used to do it easily by going to Documents and then copying all the
gnucash files across. However, under Version: 3.8 Build ID:
3.8b+(2019-12-29) I don't seem to see any of the familiar gnucash files
in my Documents folder.
There is an .gnucash hidden file containing 8 items, totalling 45.4 kB
but not all the files I am used to seeing. The Books folder contains my
two items 2017 onwards.gnucash.gcm (7.5kb) and Retirement Home
Accounts.gnucash.gcm (2.5kB). But, when I try to migrate this directory
to my netbook all I get is
*'No suitable backend was found for /media/nic/USB
STICK/.gnucash/books/2017 onwards.gnucash.gcm'*
My desktop is an ACEPC AK2 mini computer running Linux Mint 19.3,
Cinnamon 4.4.6, Linux kernel 5.0.0-37-generic, Intel© Celeron© CPU
J3455 @ 1.50GHz × 4, 7.6 GiB memory.
My netbook is a Samsung NC 110 running Linux Mint 19.3 MATE 1.22.2,
Intel Atom N2800 @ 1.86 GHz x 4 with 1.9 GiB memory.
Migrating used to be a doddle before but I'm stumped now!
Can you help me?
Many thanks, in advance,
Nic Deane
