Voila, afaics, a file opened called GNU FEB12 2019.gnucash and it
contains the last transactions, so far so good.

Yes, if you just launch GnuCash from its launcher it will open the last file
you had open when you did a ’Save’ and ‘Quit’.
But apparently, you intentionally at one point opened a backup file instead of
the current working file, twice. (each time a different backup file)
You normally do *not*

I can't see the images you presumable posted for some reason, but I
suspect what happened was that some time ago you, for some reason,
opened one of the backup files (so
whatever.gnucash.longdatestring.gnucash) and didn't then re-open or

[When Gnucash starts, it *normally* opens the file that was open when

so it is fairly easy to get the wrong one by mistake if you've been

No, you risk data loss at the point of opening the backup.

Finbar,

Yes, I appreciate the comment.
In my original post I mentioned that I was testing out an app called
backblaze, an automatic backup to the the cloud. I asked where and how I
would find the GNU backups, since the folder where GNU stuff is saved is
full of files, and would have been backed up by
I don’t know. What is backblaze?
Based on the info in the FAQ to which I referred, it appears that on Feb 8,
2019, you opened a backup copy of “GNU 5 Feb 2018”, which itself was made on
