GnuCash with bad network connection

My home Wi-Fi has suddenly developed a bad case of dropouts in spite of a
very strong signal.  Several times a day various devices need to reconnect.

With that background, if GnuCash is in the process of saving the data file
(over Wi-Fi) when the dropout happens, GnuCash appears to hang and my
Windows 7 OS reports that the file save failed and after the destination
returns it asks me if I want to try again, but it needs a file name.

Through trial and error I was able to revive Gnucash and let it do the save
using it's internal procedure without crashing and losing data.

My question is whether there is a place in the documentation that
summarizes troubleshooting various file save problems such as this or
possibly other issues with saving or backing up to places other than the
local hard drive.

I heard through the grapevine that the Q product has recently been having
serious data loss issues with this type of network problem.
