Gramps 5.0
Unlike in Gramps 2.2, the backup files are not in XML format. The new backup files are a dump of the database tables. This allows the data to be saved quickly. One backup file exists for each primary table in the database. The backup files are not visible to the user, being held in the database directory.
 
==Gramps 5.0==
 
In Gramps 5.0, the database backend became a plugin. This version still uses the same backend as previous versions; however, an new backend is introduced called "DB-API". This is a SQL-based backend. If testing is successful, Gramps 5.1 will use this backend as the default.
 
You can read more about this back in [[DB-API Database Backend]].
