I use the Win 10/11 Google Drive g:\ right now, so continuous backups. But felt more secure when on Linux Ubuntu and had insync backing the gnucash data dir up to my Google Drive, so I had both a local disk copy and a remote copy, and a cron job to sync them up every night. (The tabs did not back up, as that is in a gcm file in some other dir.) The g:\ drive gets funky if the internet is out. You can do this on win10/11 with a local dir and a g:\ google drive dir, if you either write a script to sync them and schedule it, or copy them over manually. Since the data files are new with every save, you have little window of vulnerability.
However, you get the same sort of backup with Dropbox, OneDrive, iCloud, etc. but maybe with fewer supported platforms and websites. I seem to have various files flying off in many directions from many apps on many platforms, but I buy 100GB from Google for $1.99/mo. to hold al my pix, docs, music, gnucash, videos. _______________________________________________ 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.
