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

[Adrien Monteleone]

Those are backup files. (explained in the Help you said you were reading...)

If you need to restore it, open GnuCash, then File > Open and choose 
that backup.

Then File > Save As, and give it the original or desired name.

You can then delete the backup and mangled 'original' file if desired.

Adrien
