Along with changes to use modern libraries, GnuCash 2.7+ has changed the
|
|
schema [1] it uses for both databases and files. GnuCash will
|
|
automatically modify the file or database in place upon open.
|
|
|
|
Therefore, it is imperative that you back up any files or databases
|
|
before using GnuCash 2.7 in case you run into an issue and want or need
|
|
to revert back to 2.6.
|
|
|
|
Close any open session of GnuCash including remote sessions, then
|
|
follow the relevant backup instructions as follows:
|
|
|
|
For XML (plain files):
|
|
$ cp /path/to/file.gnucash /path/to/file.gnucash.bak
|
|
|
|
For MySQL:
|
|
$ mysqldump gnucash_db | xz > gnucash-2.6.sql.xz
|
|
|
|
For PostgreSQL:
|
|
$ pg_dump -U gnucash_user -Z 5 gnucash_db > gnucash-2.6.sql.gz
|
|
|
|
For SQLite:
|
|
$ cp /path/to/sqlite.file.gnucash /path/to/sqlite.file.gnucash.bak
|
