You say "simple", but it would be complex to create some backup software that would do what you want but also do the many things that other people want. And it would have to work on both Macs and Windows PCs, which would be pretty hard. This is why backup programs are a class by themselves -- different people choose the one that suits their needs. Your concern about losing your data if your computer crashes is quite reasonable. But surely your GnuCash data file is not the only thing you would hate to lose? If you're like most people, you have other precious records on your computer. The best approach is to look at backup programs and choose a good one, then let it back up your GnuCash data among all your other data. On the other hand, if truly the only thing you care about is backing up your GnuCash data, surely it's pretty easy to plug in the USB stick, open File Manager (or whatever the Mac calls it), and drag your GnuCash data file to the USB stick.
