I don't have a large enough external hard drive at hand, and I can't afford to take this into the shop. I'm really worried I might only get partial backups randomly scattered if I try copying the whole folder as you suggest. I've got the checksums of all the calibre parts, wouldn't that be less risky? I can then try downloading a couple of parts and seeing whether they match.
