What backup software did you decide to use Chris? I’ve written some scripts
to backup my Gnucash files, but have been looking at a more comprehensive
solution.

Just buying into the tail end of this discussion.
I used to sell and support a commercial package (mid-range, solid,
double-entry, Windows platform only, it's now called Sage Pastel) which
used the Btrieve file system for its database.
In the early versions (90s of last century, before XML), it w
Tried that with GnuCash? It isn't a macOS native app and probably doesn't
benefit from those features. I'd go for the UPS, but since recent financial

The modern MacOS is pretty amazing at preserving work in most apps now even if
you have not saved to disk. I have shut down my computer with unsaved changes
and they are still there when it reboots. And where I live power failures are
common and I am not on a UPS (long story there). So even when
Desktop computers still benefit from ups power both against outages and
(hopefully) surges. Laptops already have a battery. These days many of us
also depend on network and/or internet connections for data and backups.

Interesting, I haven't experienced this (though I have experienced
crashes, outages are handled by my UPS) but I am on an SSD, so maybe you
are on to something.

At least on the Mac, there’s no guarantee that it is physically written to disk
immediately. I’ve experienced a handful of posted and printed invoices
disappearing due to a power outage. Probably less likely to happen on a system
with an SSD drive, as there’s not as much reason to wait to flus
