Re: [GNC] Backup and restore GnuCash Settings

Was this the order of operations? #1 Upgrade/Install new OS version #2 Restore backup #3 Install new version of GnuCash If #2 happened before #3, perhaps the GnuCash install is overwriting the restored .gnucash folder with a fresh copy. Does restoring just that folder again from the backup

-All home folders (hidden or not) were saved and then then restored... -Same behavior even if the new installation is the same gnucash version e.g. Fedora 27 to Fedora 27 2018-05-16 18:00 GMT+03:00 Nikos Charonitakis : > Hi All > I have recently made a back of my home directory

Re: [GNC] Backup and restore GnuCash Settings

Since Firefox stores user prefs in $HOME/.mozilla, I’d be surprised if .gnucash didn’t get backed up also, unless the OP used a custom command and .mozilla was specifically included and .gnucash wasn’t. But if this were some sort of backup app and it was set to backup hidden files, then
