So to back up both the books and the tag structure are you all saying I just have to backup the Calibre library in the My documents folder on my computer? The tags and such will just go along with that?

I just plan to periodically put it on an external harddrive.
Tags and other data belong to 'the current library' , so yes. what you see on the screen is contained in that folder.

OTOH
How it looks, plugins and some non-library specific rules are in Preferences (the configuration folder)

Backing Both allows a quick transfer to another system with only minor 'switch library' to take in account of user path changes.
