I've always used method 2 to move my Calibre stuff to another computer, and never have had any issues, other than the screen resolution differences on different computers (for which I use the View Manager plugin).

I use FreeFileSync for incremental backup of the library and settings folder.

As I understand it, method 1 is meant for moving to another computer, not really for backup.
