***Local Archive** \\ 
By default, data files will be stored in the default location - accessible from Moneydance by selecting Help --> Show Archive Folder.  For **Gertie007** that locations is: 
// /home/jerry/.moneydance/archive/backups//  A copy of the most current archive is also synchronized with Google Drive using Déjà Dup Backup Tool execcuted from the Linux Mint menu with the //Accessories --> Backups// button.  The synchronized backup file is restored using the same Déjà Dup Backup Tool execcuted from the Linux Mint menu with the //Accessories --> Backups// button. \\ 
  ***Linux Update Install/Restore** \\  
Moneydance program files are found in ///opt/Moneydance//  Routinely during an install of a new Linux version, the entire /opt directory is restored from the previous version by me.  The config and data directories are found in the user's home directory, i.e.,// /home/jerry/.moneydance//  If both the program directories and the config/data directory is restored to the new Linux install, Gertie should run from the Linux Mint menu using the last saved Moneydance archive.
