[GNC] How do I transfer all gnucash data files?

Hello,
I have been using GnuCash to manage a Non-Profit Organization for several
years.
Now I am in the process of training an under-study to assume my Treasurer
role, so I want to share my GnuCash Data files with him.

To facilitate the process, I want to copy my GnuCash data files to a thumb
drive AND have my understudy download the GnuCash program onto his PC.
Then, if I'm correct, all I need to do is copy my thumb drive data files
onto his PC and my understudy should be ready to begin managing the
Non-Profit, right?

Questions:
1. *How can I be sure* that I have collected ALL of the necessary data
files?
2. Do the data files need to be stored in a particular location relative to
the GnuCash Program files?
3. Do you have any other insights on this process that I might have
overlooked?


Thank you,
David Gray
