This might seem at first like a strange answer << asking you questions >>

How would you go about restoring your gnucash data from the latest 
regular backup that you made? Hey, for the moment forget that we are 
asking about gnucash data. How would you be doing this for ANY of your 
data you are restoring from backup? How are you moving all your OTHER 
data to this new machine?

Not only how moving in the logical sense but how in the physical sense? 
(for example, using an external USB drive first hooked to the old 
machine and then later to the new one)

PS: If after having thought about these things and figured out how you 
will be doing the move for data in general you can come back with 
questions specific to gnucash data (how that might be different, for 
example, than moving your email folders or your browser bookmarks, etc.)
