I launch GnuCash two or three times a month, run it twenty or thirty minutes at a time, and delete backups once a month (because it's easy to type a wild card pattern for a month's worth of backup file names). With this scheme, I'd end up with 10-15 backup files, at about 1.6MB each -- a bit excessive, I think. _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnucash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
