Donna,
Others have sufficiently answered, but I'll add some points about backups:
There is the maxim, for least risk, that if your data does not exist in
three places, on three different types of media, you can consider it
'not existing at all.'
That might be extreme for some folks. As noted
You make a good point Fred, and I have seen people on this list who keep
their GnuCash data in the cloud too.
Although this changes the risk profile, it does not eliminate the need
for a backup system.
Regards
Geoff

more serious misunderstanding about using your computer. It isn't just
just gnu
