Then your backup of Ebooks will catch everything that needs backing up.
If you backup the entire Calibre Portable folder, you'll be wasting backup storage space and time by backing up almost 200mb of 'program'. If you only backup the libraries and Settings from within the Calibre Portable folder then you'd be doing exactly what I described above.

This is an excellent idea!
