Clearly I am doing several things wrong. Probably since I switched from Manjaro to Zorin in about October.
I have no un-numbered copy in my folders on either backup device. I do not yet know if the Linux drive is salvageable. So I agree that seems to be where to look, but I am unlikely to find it there. I will likely see only what the backup shows. But I guess there must be something somewhere on the Linux drive (and maybe the backup?) since it opens properly there. If it isn't fried. I had been keeping only the last several files (I thought), but there is a gap from October 2025 to April 2026. The banks are reconciled to January 1st 2026 and projected transactions entered to end of April.
