The other thing that may be easy to do for backup purposes - especially if you've got a library properly setup, is backup the metadata.db in your library folder. It has a LOT of stuff that would be nice for future crashes. All the metadata for one, which includes all the story URLs. Personally I have a dozen columns or more with all the metadata info, so this is a big difference in my backups. But even if you dont, it'll retain the name author and synopsis. This database isn't huge, I have ~17k fanfiction in one archive of stuff I've acquired over the years and even with all the metadata, the database is only about 50mb so it'd be a good backup for minimal space.

I would have written this last night, but I was going to bed and the simple answer was what you were looking for. Plus I had to verify that a calibre database kept all the metadata in the database. (I was only 90% sure in my sleepy state).
