add caveat regarding location of the "hidden" directory on Windows 10.
Gramps does a quick hidden binary backup to allow restore if an error is noted. If the correct package is installed, you can use a revision system.
Another method is to backup the ''<code>/.gramps</code>'' hidden directory. (On Windows 10 it is ''<code>/Users/<your username>/AppData/Roaming/gramps</code>'') This subdirectory is situated in your [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_User_Directory|User Directory]]. Backing up this directory will backup your databases and revisions.
'''Do not keep backups in GEDCOM format'''. Not all information Gramps stores can be written in the GEDCOM. Hence, an export/import operation from Gramps exported into GEDCOM and re-imported into Gramps, will mean you '''lose''' [[Gramps_and_GEDCOM|data]]. Use the <code>.gramps</code> file format for backups!
