First, please reply to the list so others can benefit from the conversation. Absolutely you can save your file in a new location. Where would you like to save it? Somewhere in your Home folder tree is what I’d think most people use. Does it need to be on a removable drive or can it

Yep. You kept opening a backup file, which concatenated a new backup file name, and so on and so on. (see how long that file name is with all the coded dates?) It also looks like you were working on some external drive because /media/user/xxx is usually where *buntus mount a transient external,

Richard, Just open the app from the app launcher icon, not the file. It will re-open the last used file automatically. What OS are you using? On Windows this would be from Start > Programs > Gnucash On Linux you’d use your menu or Applications screen and click the GnuCash icon On Mac, you’d
