That is it a 100% backup of everything except your view (GUI) settings and plugins (which are easy to get).
I THINK I have that done for my thumb drive (used "Send to Device") yet the .opf and cover don't show up in the folders. But I have a file titled "metadata.calibre" got info on that? This is the first time I've done the Send to/Save to option so I want to make sure I do it RIGHT without having to go back and forth editing and cleaning up my books all over again if I add the files to separate installation of Calibre.
