You can copy calibre's folder and store in a safe place, using your OS's folder and filename tree. You can do the same using calibre's Send to Device function. I have an automatic online back up service that has versioning (Carbonite) so I just don't worry about it since I can go online to retrieve an earlier version (as long as it's been no more than a month since the back up was made). If you do your own backups, you can retain versions forever if you want. I recommend a combination of both automatic, temporary backups and permanent, manual back ups.
