BUT --- this might be a good place to mention that this sort of problem 
is a CONSEQUENCE of a choice "how do I backup?" or "how do I move data 
to a new computer?" Choices have consequences. A consequence of choosing 
to back-up each individual file (include/exclude) or to move just 
selected files is that you have to know what the files are and in what 
directory they live.

Note that if instead you chose to copy your entire user directory you do 
NOT have to know what anything is called  or where it lives. Not if you 
are going to restore to a machine under the same OS (and you choose to 
keep the same user name).

That's why when anybody asks "how do I back-up my GNUCASH data?" I 
always ask back "How do you back up the rest of your user data?"
