Currently the only way to backup CC is to use one of the android backup tools. Many of these (I think all?) require the device to be rooted. This is less than ideal.

As eschwartz said, we are looking at options to backup and restore CC's database. There are some complexities, but it is worth doing. Don't know if it will be in the development cycle I intend to start shortly.

Of course, the ultimate restore is to simply resend the books. The only local info that CC keeps is the "read" status, and if that is sync'ed to calibre then even that isn't local.
