Actually, we have our backup solution :-) Every day when you launch GTG, 
it makes a backup copy of your tasks.xml file. If your tasks are stored 
in ~/.local/share/gtg/gtg_tasks.xml, GTG backups those tasks today as 
~/.local/share/gtg/gtg_tasks.xml.2012-03-29

It could be more explicitly put in ~/.local/share/gtg/backups/ or 
something like that. However, it is still on the same disk and if you 
/home goes down, you loose all your tasks.
