[GNC] Best practice to change name of GnuCash file ("book")?

[Eric Chapman]

I do have a bunch of files named something like

xxx.gnucash.20221219140714.gnucash

and they are bigger than the xxx.gnucash file. The last one is dated 
yesterday. So maybe that is a backup?

But I clicked on it, and it also opens as if it's a completely new file.
