Backing up to the hardrive is currently automatic but saving to a disc or memory stick, for off site storage could be made simpler for the less technically inclined user.

Would not be hard to do BUT would foster bad practice with regard to 
backup procedures. Do you really want to back up all the data on your 
computer file by file? The point is, it is not just your gnucash data 
that needs backup but ALL your user data. And if there is a process 
whereby all your user data is backed up, a special process to back up 
gnucash data is redundant.

Look at procedures/process alternatives for general backup. Which would 
work best for you. There are lots of alternatives.
