Hi Billie
To borrow from the good Friedrich:
One who would learn to restore one day must first learn to stand and
walk and run and climb and dance and backup; one cannot restore without
knowing what one is backing up.
So, with many thanks to Jim DeLaHunt who just answered a similar question:
There are FAQs:
Q: I just got a new computer. What should I copy over from my old one?
A: You need to copy the same files that you'd backup, so see Backup.

Q: I moved/renamed my data file and my reports disappeared. How do I get
them back?
A: Reports are stored in a separate file in the GNC_DATA_HOME/books[1]
directory.…

And there are Wiki articles:

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations
And, of course, a closing pearler from FN himself:
On the mountains of GnuCash you can never climb in vain: either you will
reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so
that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow.
Good luck!
