[GNC] How to restore a previous backup?

[Geoff]

Hi Billie

To borrow from the good Friedrich:

One who would learn to restore one day must first learn to stand and 
walk and run and climb and dance and backup; one cannot restore without 
knowing what one is backing up.

So, with many thanks to Jim DeLaHunt who just answered a similar question:

There are FAQs:

Q: I just got a new computer. What should I copy over from my old one?
A: You need to copy the same files that you'd backup, so see Backup.

Q: I moved/renamed my data file and my reports disappeared. How do I get 
them back?
A: Reports are stored in a separate file in the GNC_DATA_HOME/books[1] 
directory.…

And there are Wiki articles:

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations


And, of course, a closing pearler from FN himself:

On the mountains of GnuCash you can never climb in vain: either you will 
reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so 
that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow.



Good luck!
