Not sure what you mean by 'data' .  There is a program, a user data file
and user 'prefs' which are things like your specific settings for how
the program works or certain defaults for currencies, fiscal years and a
few other things.

Many users just install a new copy of the GnuCash program onto the new
computer and a copy of the data file.  The other stuff can be set up on
the fly on the new computer with the possible exception of custom report
settings.  That is one area that is not handled automatically if you are
both moving to a new machine and migrating from the 2.4 series to the
2.6 series without upgrading on the old installation first.  Alas, I am
not sure about that case myself, but someone here should know about that.
