I'm trying to wrap my head around the budget. I'm stuck on the carry over each month. Does this value go in the 'budget available' the next month AND the income to be spent the next month. Or, just in the income the next month. I don't think gnucash accounts for any of this, was trying to work

Colin, You've got that correct. Replication, just like e.g. RAID protects against some forms of data loss but it is not a full backup solution. It could be part of it though, e.g. if running a more permanent backup from the slave is easier than running it on the master. MySQL/MariaDB have
