I do not do this at all.

In other words, I do not back up GnuCash database separately.

Every night, when I am asleep, cron does a full backup of my entire file
system except for images and videos. Of course, that includes the
GnuCash database, its reports, all my letters, everything in the cache
area of firefox and thunderbird, ... I do not even think about it.
Daily, all this goes onto a large external hard drive, and weekly it
goes onto magnetic tape. Also monthly, it goes on a magnetic tape that
is kept in my safe deposit box at my bank. U think it would be a simple
matter to put some of this on a thumb drive, but I cannot be bothered.
