What do I need to backup so the calibre settings are the same? where are the calibre configuration settings located and how do I back them up ? OR is there a quick way to make a settings backup lol

Nothing special needed
- Open the config folder (Prefs->Misc->last button)
- Close calibre
- Go up to config folder parent (alt+up arrow in windows)
- Left button drag drop the calibre folder to ANOTHER device (eg a thumb drive) or right button drag drop it to say your desktop and select Copy here
I have a symlink to the config folder (C:\Users\BetterRed\AppData\Roaming\calibre) in the same folder as I keep my libraries (E:\Calibre Libraries)
All the UNhidden root level folders on E: get incrementally backed up every day to local storage, and weekly to a commercial FTP site using a folder/file synch utility. That includes the contents of folder symlinks.
