Backup

[Derek Atkins]

These are turds left over from a GnuCash crash.  You can
safely delete these files.  You might need to chmod
them first.

Also, you probably don't need to backup EVERYTHING in your
data directory, just your main data file.  Unless you really
want all the backup and log files?
