Why?  Does MS Word or Keynote or any other application have an extensive 
backup function (beyond autosave, of course)  How have you moved all the 
letters that you've written and photos that you have from old to new PC?  GC 
is really a very similar process.

GC is far better at backing up your data on each run than most other programs, 
it is *quite* good at import (given the closed nature of most of the candidate 
formats).

granted, export is maybe more lacking, but I think you can get to CSV quite 
easily these days, and your datafile is stored as plain XML (nearly human-
readable) text.
