And you might burn a copy of that to write once medium for safe storage
off site as part of backup procedures.
I tend to copy the YE file to a name for the new year, mark the old one
read only (assuming your OS provides for this) to have the "on site"
backup. Yes, and send a copy to safe keeping off site << in 2006 had a
house fire, one room burned but smoke damage made most backups
unreadable -- all unreadable by us, but our insurance included "data
recovery" coverage, and the date recovery specialists were able to read
about 50% of them >>

PS: I do NOT mean doing an individual off site backup of just gnucash
data. There is a lot more data on the computer that goes onto off site
medium. At today's prices you might forget about burning to DVD as you
can drives under $100 that would hold all your YE user data in one fell
swoop. For organizations I was still burning copies to be able to give
one to another organizational officer, simple "good practice". Now I
just attach the file and send it leaving up to them to decide how to keep.
