I keep two forms of backups:

1 - The library as a whole. So I can quickly reinstate my library once I have to kill over my library comp...

2 - a backup of the eBooks (mainly ePubs) with metadata properly updated (modify ePub is your friend), because I've run into database getting corrupted due to a sync job (yes, I sync the library pretty much automatic...) gone bad and had to redownload out of three stores :F

I tack 1 on a NAS and keep 2 around on a seperate USB stick which I drop off in a safe.
