When I look at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#GNC_DATA_HOME, I think it says for Linux, GNC_DATA_HOME is USER_DATA_HOME/gnucash, and USER_DATA_HOME is $HOME/.local/share, so that should turn into $HOME/.local/share/gnucash A similar look at GNC_CONFIG_HOME yields

The important thing is to make sure that you don't restore an old version of GnuCash dlls. The most straightforward way is to leave executables out of the backup plan because you can always download them again from their respective sources. A bit less simple is to have a separate backup set for
