Elmar, The storage locations are defined in the following wiki page https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#:~:text=The%20usual%20locations%20per%20OS,to%20as%20%24HOME%20or%20~%2F for all 3 OS types.
It just requires copying the files in these locations to a USB or other location. On a Linux system the following will do it cp $HOME/,local/share/gnucash DESTINATION/gnucash-use-config cp $HOME/.local/share/gtk-3.0 DESTINATION/gnucash-gtk-config cp $HOME/.config/gnucash DESTINATION/gnucash_config cp $HOME/path-to-data-file DESTINATION restoring it would simply be the same with the order of the locations reversed.
