You must have missed an earlier mail pointing you to the FAQ which
explains this exactly.
I'll just copy and paste from the first mail.

Read this bit
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_How_do_I_backup_my_data.3F
You've done the second part
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_How_do_I_backup_my_GC_environment.2C_including_preferences.3F

The procedure is just backup and then restore.
