There's not a good way to "export/import" accoutns with balances.  Your
best bet would be to make a copy of the data file and continue using the
other one.  For you'd make a FY2009 data file from which you can run the
end-of-year reports for FY09, and then you can close the books on June
30th in the current one in order to run your FY-2010 reports.

Unfortunately the Export Accounts function only creates and empty
account tree.  It does not maintain balances (or any biz objects).
