No. It's been discussed many times, and I assume someone has entered an enhancement request, but there's been no change. You can control those files by setting a preference for when to auto-purge them: Edit » Preferences » General. > I am backing up the GnuCash data directory, but in reality, all I really > need to backup is my GnuCash file - all of these working files are > just taking up space on the backup media. So don't back them up. I don't. You didn't say what backup technique or software you're using, but it should certainly have a way to exclude files from backup. I exclude *gnucash*gnucash and *gnucash*log. Another approach would be to back up only designated file MyData.gnucash.
