Configuration of custom columns and other library-related things are stored at the Calibre Library directory. I want to believe you already have a good backup of this directory. Make another one ;-)

Thanks. I figured Calibre would keep it's config stuff somewhere in my $HOME directory (which is of course backed up!) Calibres storage directory is off on a separate drive, but that's backed up as well. Being a long time sysadmin/network guru at work, I'm big on backups. At home I backup double - once to an external drive, and a second time to a remote backup server (my own server - I don't trust other people with my data). True, for these backups, that "remote server" is only a Raspberry Pi hooked up to a WD Red 4Tb drive, but that setup serves the purpose magnificently.
But you never know what's going to happen when a program was originally written for Windows, then ported to Linux (I don't know if Calibre is like this or not). Some of the Windows native stuff with a hacked port to Linux will store data in locations who-knows-where. FWIW, I certainly don't think Calibre is any kind of a "hacked port'. What a beautifully functional and feature-rich piece of software it is. So well implemented!
