There is no inbuilt backup solution - the export/import feature was implemented as a solution to the problem of moving a users calibre data from one computer to another - including a different type of computer, e.g. from Apple Mac to a Linux etc.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't use it for backup - but IMO its sub-optimal.
