Sorry, I'm afraid you are dealing with a neophyte here.
I read the wiki, and I looked for the data files but didn't find
anything that looked like 'gnucash.20140131150812.gnucash.'
I recall having seen on here various discussions on backing up - is
there a place where I could find a set of questions/answers on doing a
backup?
TIA for any advice.

Sorry, I meant doing the first option (as I should have been:-[)
before updating to 3.3.
Thanks for the information. I'll have a look at the wiki.

Hello,
I want to do a backup of the current installation as of 31.12.2018 and
install the latest version (3.3?) from 1.1.2019. First is this a
worthwhile action and is there any particular process I should
follow? I
have looked around the documentation but I didn't find a "how to"
Do you mean backing up your accounts data? If so then that is
something everyone should already be doing regularly. A computer or
disk may go up in smoke (literally or metaphoricallly) at any time,
taking all your account history with it if you are not doing regular
backups. See this for information on what to backup.

If you mean you want to backup the software itself so you can easily
revert to the old version should you need to then that is not normally
something one would do, though I believe Windows has a mechanism for
keeping a snapshot of the current system so you can revert if you want
to. You can always uninstall the latest and install an earlier one if
you want to, though it is not guaranteed that accounts data which have
been used with 3.3 will be usable with an earlier version, so you
might have to go back to an earlier backup of your accounts

I am using 2.6.19 on Windows 10.
