I think the issue is wording, which should be less alarming. 

Import from a .chex (Chandler export) file results in replacement of, not
supplement to, the repository.

No problem. 

binary_backup.tgz is comprehensive, its writing is less frequent. 

backup.chex is less comprehensive, its writing is more frequent. 

Chandler Desktop normally writes backup.chex each time it quits.

Approximately once per week, Chandler Desktop improves its performance by
taking time, at startup, to import from backup.chex

I'll have more to add there in due course.
