<p>All you really need is the .moneydancearchive file created by File/Export Backup. You restore this via File/Restore from Backup.</p>
<p>The other useful file (for license and other settings) is config.dict...</p>
<p>Nothing else is really needed.</p>

<p>Moneydance seems to have created the following folders:</p>
<p>“ .moneydance/archive/backups”</p>
<p>Presumably the folder I save to the external hard drive is the one called “backups”. It seems to contain quite a few files including the one with the current date.</p>
<p>I always struggle with things I do very infrequently. Intutition does not always work.</p>

That seems to be sorted. I know what I am doing – after 10 years!. The Preference:Backup was the key. I expect I will have some more dumb problems before too long.</p>
