If you are using the default XML file to store your GC data, then it is possible to have GC set up in a way so that the *program* creates a sort of back-up file each time you save the changes you have made to the *Data* file. (I think GC does this by default, if you don't explicitly tell GC not to in the program options) May I ask a related (rhetorical) question? How do you back up your other *data* files? (ie your photos, letters you have written in a wordprocessor, for example) If those things are important to you, then you really should devise a system you are comfortable with so that your important digital assets can survive a range of threats - from minor disk errors thru ransomware or hardware failure up to catastrophies like fire, flood etc. There is lots of info on the web about how to do this and there is no correct answer that is right for everyone... and it is not on-topic for this list... Just (as a minimum) include your GC data file in that backup strategy you devise.... if you don't know where you have saved your GC data file, then that is the first thing you need to figure out (hints: look at the main window title bar for the filename and File -> SaveAs for the folder (but don't actually "Save"!)) before you consider if the file is backed up adequately or not...
