Thanks for replies. 1) My approach was to leave the GNC backup process as is
and handle the files only (moving them out of the base dir). 2) I have many
other files also in a folder where my budget database file resists, so I wanted
to move backups instantly. 3) I also wanted not to

not simply use "*.gnucash" for the
backup file as that would move the main data file as well, so it must be
"*.gnucash.*.gnucash".

Even with the SQLite database you still need backups.
One could use the built-in backup scheme to guard against user error or
database corruption and then also a copy to other media (cloud, external

cluttering, and the added bonus of instant saves rather than periodic.
I'm not sure how easy that is to set up on Windows, however.
