Gnucash files follow an auto- backup strategy.
if your accounts data is myfile.xac, then on each save GC will create a backup
called myfile.xac.<timestamp>.xac and a log of changes in a .log file.
All you actually need for your data to be safe is the datafile myfile.xac
However, having said that, any open reports are saved in a different place.
IIRC, you also need to save the folder ~/.gnucash and the file
~/.gnome/GnuCash (but there might be others too... :-(
HTH,
