Do you mean backing up your accounts data? If so then that is something everyone should already be doing regularly. A computer or disk may go up in smoke (literally or metaphoricallly) at any time, taking all your account history with it if you are not doing regular backups. See this for information on what to backup. https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Backup If you mean you want to backup the software itself so you can easily revert to the old version should you need to then that is not normally something one would do, though I believe Windows has a mechanism for keeping a snapshot of the current system so you can revert if you want to. You can always uninstall the latest and install an earlier one if you want to, though it is not guaranteed that accounts data which have been used with 3.3 will be usable with an earlier version, so you might have to go back to an earlier backup of your accounts Colin > > I am using 2.6.19 on Windows 10. > > TIA, Barry > > _______________________________________________ > gnucash-user mailing list > gnucash-user@gnucash.org > To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: > https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user > If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see > https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. > ----- > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
