All your data is stored in a single file with the extension.gnucash. You
just need to back that one file, which you might call accounts.gnucash.
It would be more complicated if you used an external database, but I assume
that you are not, because that’s not the default behaviour, and it would
require the installation of other software.
So no backup tool is needed. In fact, the program makes regular backups in
the same directory.
