I don't think a novice computer user will be using mysql or
postgreSQL.  A system administrator setting those up must understand
how to maintain and back up the databases.  I don't think gnucash
should get involved in that.

For sqlite I believe the database is simply a single file, so I
imagine in that case gnucash could use a similar backup strategy to
the one it uses for xml files.
