  secring.gpg, pubring.gpg, trustdb.gpg and gpg.conf (if the last one
exists). The most important ones are secring.gpg and pubring.gpg,
trustdb.gpg is important, but not critical, and gpg.conf (if exists) is
very convenient.

  If you don't know where to locate them, open a CMD prompt window, and
run the command gpg --version, and you will get, among other info, the
location of the Home folder where gpg stores the files. I'd backup the
whole folder.

  If you use windows, I'd recommend Comodo Backup, it's free, and allows
you to automate your backups.

  Best Regards
