Backup the entire library folder - all the folders and all the files.
I also include Calibre's configuration folder in the same backup set - its location can be determined from
Calibre->Preferences->Miscellaneous->Open Configuration Folder.

Windows will recreate any author folders it needs to create when you restore book folders from the Recycle Bin - I'm 99.5% sure OS/X and Linux will do the same.
Or do as Kovid suggests, move them out of the rubbish bin and add them again. If you're using Windows, the Recycle Bin Edit menu has a Move to folder option... and in there there's a create folder option. In Windows if you move them this way or via drag drop then the Author folders will NOT be created.
