Other than that, any cloud storage service should work just fine. Just do as theducks says and mark your Library folder to be synced -- or add to the sync folder, as the case may be. That way, all your books will be synced.

You could sync a copy of your library folder instead, but it's probably not necessary and updating the backup could be a hassle.

It is unnecessary to backup the actual program files -- you might as well backup all your other programs too, and then there will be no end to the trouble. Just update calibre whenever you need to. Even though a new version IS released every single Friday (usually) you don't actually have to upgrade. It is mostly bugfixes and most people don't bother until they need a new feature or to fix a bug they have.

You could of course install it via the command line and set a weekly task to do so if you really want to have the bleeding edge of calibre.
