I accept this is a very singular situation.

That would be a help.
Otherwise I see another possibility keeping a copy or /user/.config.calibre in an inaccessible place (/opt/calibre ?) and rsync'ing from it after every session, as I think I may end up doing for the Library directory.
Doing it from a server is not on, as I will not get additional hardware.
