Yes - this is another folder that Calibre uses to store your Calibre settings and preferences. It is different to the folder used to store your library with all its books and metadata (which is the really critical data).

If you do not mind setting your predferences up from scratch again after a restore (or you run with default settings) then you do not need to do this. However many people cannot remember what changes they made to the Calibre preferences, and this step avoids them having to remember as it re-instates everything as it was at the time of the backup.
