Edwin, If your happy with the latest release after you install it don't worry about keeping a copy of the previous release. If you were to discover later that the latest release broke a feature that you used enough to want to revert to a previous release, you can still get old releases from the GnuCash website and install it over the newer release, at least for Windows versions.
I like to make a copy of my data file in case the new release corrupts my data. That hasn't happened, but I am a little paranoid. It's more important to have a data backup plan that will work when your computer dies or when an airplane crashes into your house.
