Hoyahoy, friends.

My Windows 7 desktop slideth into ruin, and like many of yours, I suspect, it contains a calibre library that represents several days worth of careful cataloguing and customizing. I still have the ability to access and copy my files, so I was hoping you could tell me how (or show me where to learn how) to back up my metadata, custom columns, plugins, etc.

My metadata.db file is safe (as are, of course, the books themselves); would folks in the know be willing to tell me what else I need to secure before I reformat and reinstall?

Thanks heaps, hey.
