Most people would expect to see a proper database record for any sort
of financial tracking. Log files aren't robust enough

I agree with Jan. If you're doing financial transactions, the cost of lost
transactions is generally much, much more expensive than what you'd save not
saving everything in the datastore. Don't try to save money here by using
logs - you'll lose data.

I have billing system on GAE.
It is thing to have backup of my datastore. Now I have small record count
and can read all of it for backup every day. But in future - I need any
incremental method of backup my data.
I have 3 things:
- log operations in logging system and replicate on my server.
-
This only works if you don't have a lot of traffic.
As Ikai mentioned, these are limited-size FIFO logs, so if you start
hitting any significant traffic, you will find that your INFO logs
hold a minute's worth of data - longer than a transfer would take you.
Write to a DB, OR, use RPC and URL
