Thanks for replies. 1) My approach was to leave the GNC backup process as is
and handle the files only (moving them out of the base dir). 2) I have many
other files also in a folder where my budget database file resists, so I wanted
to move backups instantly. 3) I also wanted not to create

Even with the SQLite database you still need backups.
One could use the built-in backup scheme to guard against user error or
