Would you be happy enough with a plugin that does the configuration including plugins? If so, check the [Library Closed Plugin] Backup configuration folder(s) thread.

Edit timeout too fast.

The backup file should be a well-supported directory archive type like a .zip, .tar, .tgz or .txz, and include the plugins and their base configuration.

It may be worth proving an option to doing a subset from a library too or instead, say library specific plugin configuration, and templates, columns etc. i.e no book meta-data.

Did you look at the plugin @DNSB referred to? It does your first wish.

It doesn't do the second, and I have no intention of adding that. Do note, however, that library specific configuration data is backed up by calibre in the file metadata_db_prefs_backup.json. This file is used by calibre's library restore function.
