You may not find a data loss problem until reconciliation. Because some 
things, like statements come at about 30 day intervals you could have not 
enough backups.
They were a user of hard drive space before they were compressed. My whole 
gnucash directory is less than 40MB, which in the days of 200GB+ HDD is not a 
lot. 5MB of that is last years account summaries before I burnt to CD. I 
haven't archived anything and have over 10 years of data.
