So if you want to backup your book, then all you need to do is backup your EPUB.

I'd recommend copying the EPUB to another name every so often (e.g. myepub-10june2012-2), or making sure your EPUB is in a directly you backup regularly.
Yes, that's what I was looking for. Another user supplied a useful wiki link that explained everything. Sorry everything got scattered. I was trying to keep the entire thread in one place.
