That would be a backup of your settings as well, not just the db. The db 
only contains info stored in the family trees, not how the application 
should function.

For a complete backup of your settings as well you can copy the complete 
gramps folder.

Location for Linux:
~/.gramps

Location for Windows:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\gramps

Install Gramps on the other system and replace/restore the gramps folder 
mentioned above and you should be good to go.
It would be good to install the same version of gramps onto the other 
machine as on the original. You can update to a later version of gramps 
after you've restored the folder and launched the application once.

This method will backup your db as well since it is located in the same 
folder. Do make that backup from within gramps first though, just to be 
sure so you won't loose the most important data if you happen run into 
version incompatibilities.
