If you use the backup function of Kobo Utilities it is backed up by it.

There is some (not up-to-date) documentation at https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kob...ration_Options
I now have my device backing up to the profile per KOBO utilities every time I plug it in.

What's the process to restore those backups? I understand that restoring reading status is built into the plugin, but I'm not sure of the process for restoring either the database or the configuration file. Is it simply copy and pasting them back onto my KOBO assuming I haven't done a firmware upgrade since backup?
