A lot of applications store their config info in "roaming", so I'm already backed up.

If you want to be sure that all your configuration data for Calibre, and other programs as well, gets backed up and restored with Windows 7, I highly recommend the free, built-in, Microsoft "Windows Easy Transfer" utility. It will save you hours and hours of time configuring your new or rebuilt PC, and it works across the 64-bit to 32-bit boundary as well. There's a standalone version on the Windows 7 DVD, and it's also in your Start, All-Programs, Accessories, System Tools folder.

Run on your current PC before you rebuild it, saving configuration (and data if you want) off to a USB stick, then run again after you rebuild to restore it.
