I am starting to think seriously about a backup/restore function for CC. I have several questions:

First: what should be backed up? There are three things in CC: the settings, the database, and the books. Settings can be subdivided to general settings, folder settings, and calibre device ID settings.

Second: what should be restored? How much granularity is the user given? This is important because some things interact, for example folder settings, the database, and (of course) the books.

Third: what is the most probable use? Catastrophic recovery after wiping a device? Recovery after replacing a device? Cloning settings onto a new device while the originating device is still in use?

Comments are welcome.
