It is for me. I use Calibre's Save to Disk option all the time. I do a Save to Disk to my Dropbox the ereader ready versions of the books in mobi and epub. I also use plugboards to add the series to the title of the books which works with Save to Disk. I then use the Send to Kindle to upload the books to my Personal Cloud Archive. This way I have access to the books I need from Dropbox on any of my eReaders or phone.
If I want to back up Calibre I do a sync to my other External drive of my libraries folders. I just lost a hard drive last Friday. It was brand new not even 4 months old and died without warning. This is why I keep my Calibre libraries on my external instead of my PC's drive then back it up on another external drive each week using sync software. If it wasn't so big I would back it up on Discs too. I lost alot of stuff last Friday but my books were safe!
Oh you need to backup Calibre settings folder too that way you don't have to configure everything again.
