KMyMoney supports two methods of backup:

a) a manual backup which you can reach via File/Backup and
b) an automatic backup which keeps the n latest copies of your file

For method a) the user supplies the path and filename. For method b)
the base name of the backup files is taken from the name of the original
data file and a suffix is appended. This suffix consists of a dot, a
number and a tilde. Method b) needs to be activated in the settings
and writes a backup each time the file is saved.

The file format of the backups is the same as in the original. So it's
a matter of opening the file. Rename or copy the file to your liking.

Hope that answers the question.
