I also appreciate this functionality.  I run the backup function
infrequently, and have used it to restore stuff to a new computer after
having backed up on the old one.  Seemed like it worked as I expected
based on the names of the menu items.  Found it handy to have something
that backs up what's needed while likely not including any recreatable
cache files.
