Hallo Tom,

With .tbk you include preferences and registration info (stuff that's
stored in the registry, not on disk) Also restoring the address book
compresses it (deleting entries from the AB means that they're marked
as deleted, they'll stay in the file, but when you backup they won't
be included.)
Disadvantage is that you can only restore to the same path and that
.tbk currently doesn't copy the upload manager and address history
yet. Nor will it backup any files that aren't regular TB files (my
cookies are stored in a text file in my mail directory, but it won't
be included in my backup)
