How often do you change those? Certainly not daily!!
I back those up manually when I add them in the first place.
Also, I never factory reset. Instead, I rename screensavers and dictionaries out of the .kobo directory and then delete the databases and reboot.
That does a soft reset that doesn't delete sideloaded books or custom fonts, and I can rename the screensavers and custom dictionaries back after it has rebuilt the databases.
I haven't had to do it since I started rebooting before every usb connection (if calibre is involved), but every time I have to do it, I consider making a shell script to automate the process.
Or a script to automate restoring stuff if I forget to move it aside... (or after a full reset)
