Whenever you are upgrading ANY application you should make a back-up of 
the user data of that application (immediately before the upgrade).

This is in addition to the regular periodic back-ups you are making 
(unless you always to choose to do all application upgrades immediately 
after the regular periodic back-up). You ARE doing periodic back-ups of 
your user data, yes?

In other words, the advice how to do it for gnucash is not specific to 
gnucash.
