Not wishing to continue with this multiplication of groups, I reverted
to JabRef 9.10. However, its group function is now gone. Whatever group
I select, no entries are associated with it. I can create link groups
with entries, but all old information is missing. 

What is the file that holds this information? Knowing it I could
partially recover from a backup.
