Remote access can be achieved, but it involves technological knowhow to
do it safely and securely. 
You could decide to email the file each reporting period, and have the
accountant make any notes and email it back. I make the reports that my accountant needs and provide those.

Keeping up to date with Gnucash is a *good idea*. Catching up when your
version is a long way behind is difficult.
I am not usually on the *latest* but one or two releases behind. 

What to back up is covered in the FAQ
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Questions_about_Backups
which I see now leads to longer articles in the wiki
