i also agree that backing up, especially outside of the ms windows world, is 
better managed at the system level rather than the application level.

however, those coming from ms windows will have much more experience with each 
application having it's own way to save the same thing to separate places.

ms money has it, quicken has it (at least they both did before i switched to 
gnucash about 2 years ago).

i think it must give some people a fuzzy feeling to be told they're backing 
something up each and every time as opposed to "the rsync fairy does it at 2am 
while you're sleeping."
