I'll check it out. You would thing gnucash would build in a backup/export/import function.

You are slightly misunderstanding the problems because you are thinking of gnucash as being used to keep only one set of books. Also, gnucash keeps a list of the last four books open and if not otherwise instructed will try to open the last that was open.

Many of us who keep multiple sets of books turn that off. We are having gnucash start without opening any set of books and then explicitly telling it which to open. Particularly after migrating to a new computer with different OS, even if you have only one set of books the "last open" might not be found << path is different >>

file => open will let you CHOOSE the file (set of books) that you want gnucash to open.

PS: The issue of preferences/settings IF these are to be different for the different sets of books is most easily solved by having them under different users (different computer logins). Just because you are one human being doesn't mean that your computer knows that.
