Hi again!

Now I'm confused. What gets backed up?  

"Custom" Report options are stored in ~/.gnucash/saved-reports-2.0, which is 
used to create entries under Reports->Custom.  When you run a custom report, 
(either when you click the menu item, or start GC, or do a "refresh" in the 
report's own tab) The options are read in and applied to the base report. 
(this is all "as I understand it")

Reports are not "stored", either in ~/.gnucash/ or the datafile.  Or do you 
mean the reports you have run and exported as html/pdf/whatever?
