Backup and log files

In one message or another, Volker Stuerzl said something like this:

a daily cron job to delete them would do this nicely (and
transparently) for you.. a weekly cron job could tar them up and place
them in a backup directory.. 

in the meantime, I'd say having backups of every transaction outweigh
the inconvenience of having a bunch of files in a directory you don't
necessarily have to access for any other reason..

but, hey, what do I know.. I'm just a gnucash user..
