Well, I was unsure where calibre stores certain settings, so I decided not to take the risk of missing anything.

The calibre library itself (the books) I burn every 2 months on disk and I also back it up in the cloud (Skydrive) + I back it up on another partition.
The thought of loosing my e-book collection is pure horror.

Just to be sure, when you mention the calibre configuration directory, you do mean the calibre directory in users-appdata-roaming?
