They're not really backups. They're more like safety copies created by
GnuCash in preparation for updating the database. Back in the olde days
the probability of a system r/w error when writing out a big file was a
lot higher than it is now, and even today it is far from zero.
Do what David
Doesn’t matter. Right click on your current DB file and select Duplicate from
the pop-up.
All my gnucash-generated backups and log files are in the same directory as the
data file itself.
