How does one backup the user library database (tags etc?)

I recently got maschine and have a habit of reinstalling windows frequently. I've been able to move my library over to an external drive but I fear the next time I reinstall, all the content will be available, just without tags. How can I save the tag database too in my backups?

This article is about reinitializing the Maschine and KK DB, but steps 7 and 8 (under the windows section) gives you the location of the Favorites.db. Back that up and restore it after fresh install!

The Tags are saved inside the wav files as metadata, you can't lose them.
More nerdy info/proof in this thread, ignore op, and just read my comments.

I'm sure the the developers aren't looking for any new feature requests at the moment but that would be a nice one for them to just automatically backup that favorites.db file.
