Not a bit. I just pointed out that GnuCash doesn’t create backups with the SQL 
backend the way it does with the XML one.

As always the user should have automatic backups to separate media, including 
off-site, regardless of backend. With SQLite3 that can be done with a simple 
file copy as well as the usual SQL dump that one might use with a server 
database.
