You make a good point Fred, and I have seen people on this list who keep
their GnuCash data in the cloud too.
Although this changes the risk profile, it does not eliminate the need
for a backup system.

5. Geoff is also correct here that gnucash saves backup so you don't lose
data, but backuping up to another media is always a good idea.
And asking this question "how do I back-up my gnucash data?" implies a
more serious misunderstanding about using your computer. It isn't just

Before Macintosh programs worked by passing a data file name as a parameter to
the program you wanted to start or by using an "open" command once you'd
started the program. The Macintosh introduced Graphical User Interfaces to the

In my experience, on MacOS, double-clicking on a Gnucash file opens Gnucash but
not necessarily with the file that was double-clicked. Gnucash will open with
whatever was the last file used.
So, on MacOS, the suffix is useful, sort of. But it is not handled the way most
applications handle
Somewhere I lost track of the reasoning to save a file under a filename
without an extension. Since there has never been a standard method to
assign an extended attribute for filetype that, unlike file extensions, is
consistent over all common file storage formats, in my opinion it would
still be

Chris,
In around 12 years of using GnuCash on Linux, I could probably count on one hand
the number of times I have had to type in the full filename and extension or
even search for the location of GnuCash data files. At least with the ".gnucash"
extension there is little chance of a clash with

Unlike —real— databases, SQLite files are just ordinary files. You can copy and
move them like any other file. So they can be backed up with a simple copy.

to save my GnuCash xml file in SQLite format. In general, I like it!
However, I had a few moments of panic when Windows wanted to save the file

Mike,
The first chapter or two of the Tutorial and Concepts guide
https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-guide/index.html may help with
getting this straight.
Wikipedia also has quite good articles on double entry accounting, the
accounting equation and debits and credits.

Both should be possible.
