Those address books have to do with S/MIME and if you use S/MIME. No,
you don't have to back them up since they are installed by default
when you reinstall TB!

Indeed it is. Nice and simple. :-) I restored my setup just a couple
days back in this way. You don't have to worry about where your
account folders reside on disk when doing the backup. The accounts
will be restored using the default locations.

It wouldn't appear that the preferences in the Options/preferences
dialog are retained. I can see with the window size and ticker
location settings not being retained. However, there are other
preferences that aught to be backed up and restored. Thankfully, it
isn't much of a hassle to reconfigure these options. The important
options, settings and data are restored just fine.
