IF you have all these saved reports in one directory (file folder) you 
should not have to copy them individually. Just that entire directory.

BESIDES -- if you are doing this sort of migration, not just gnucash 
data you want moved. Don't you want ALL your user data moved? Moving 
gnucash data would be just a small part of that, yes? When I migrate to 
a new machine I usually am copying over ONE directory (in which I have 
put all the directories I am bringing over)
