I don't put anything on any such devices that I don't already have a copy of somewhere else.
For my kobo, there's no point in making a copy of what's on it, because calibre already has everything, including config settings that get automatically backed up.
I use a custom column (dedicated to each device) indicating which books are on the device, and use the reading list plugin to keep that in sync.
The only thing I'd lose if I had to unexpectedly replace (or reset) the device would be reading positions for individual books, because I don't want to wait for that to sync up every single time I side load.

The KoboUtilities plugin backs up the database and the Reading List plugin keeps track of which books I have on my H2O. I do also use KoboUtilities to backup where I am in the books I have going. I don't do so all the time. But given that I have the database, all I need is to make sure the books are on the H2O and I can restore the database, the books, and I'll be back in business.
