Re: Updating data from a temporary cloned drive to my normal computer.

Yep, that's all you need.
The file with the -YYYY-MM-DD appended is the automatic backup.
Easier than cloning your entire system would be to copy the
moneydance.mdfile to a different directory as a backup.  Or as I do, I
copy the
moneydance.md-YYYY-MM-DD to a backup directory that Moneydance doesn't know
about so that it doesn't automatically delete them as it creates new
backups.  Then if I ever find that I need to go back to a earlier file, I
just move the appropriate backup file to the current file location and
remove the -YYYY-MM-DD from the end of the file name.
