James, only you can determine what is important enough to warrant a backup.
However, my philosophy is that everything I put on my computer, no matter how trivial, needs to be on a backup of some kind. So I look for backup strategies that get everything. That way I don't have to worry about individual applications (OpenOffice, GnuCash, Word, Excel, etc.). For Ubuntu (Unix/Linux), I use the included Backup facility and grab the entire home folder nightly Plus I list out all the installed packages in case I need to rebuild from a new O/S. For Windows I use their supplied backup facility to grab all user data plus any additional storage areas (but not the backup NAS) nightly. Everything, including phones, tablets, laptops, is backed up to that NAS on a nightly basis. The NAS is copied to a large external drive on a regular basis for off site stoage. None of this is specific for GnuCash. But GnuCash is included due to the inclusive nature of my backup strategy. I hope this is helpful to you.
