Where this is stored is kind of up to you when you started GnuCash back when. I hope you know where that file is stored. One way to find it is to open the old GnuCash and then under File, choose "Save As" - it will open in the same directory as your current file is stored. Worst case, you can do a search for files ending with ".gnucash". The reports and other settings are stored in the user data and user config directories; these are listed in Gnucash -> About. I am using the default location; on my Sonoma iMac, they are in "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Gnucash" You will certainly want the financial transactions; if you've customized Gnucash with reports, etc, you'll want the configuration data. You should know where your financial data file is, because you ARE backing it up, right? _________________________________ Richard Losey [email protected] Micah 6:8 _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
