Q. Why do I backup anything?
A. So that I can restore something that broke.

Q. Who or what is most like to break something?
A. Me.

Q. What kind of something are you most likely to break?
A. A single format file, a cover, a book.

Q. Can you restore any of those from a calibre library Export archive?
A. No I can't.

Q. How about the calibre configuration folder… arguably it's more precious that your libraries?
A. Nope… not even that.
