Something in between. For the address book you also need

/usr/share/contacts

I am not aware of any other place in there, that is needed, but then
I see local-mail in your directory listing above. Well I think this
might be required as well. I have it, too.

Yes, thats the local folders resource.

I´d look in akonadiconsole for every resource, where it stores its stuff.

Unfortunately at least some of the pathes do not appear in the config
files:

martin@merkaba:~/.config/akonadi> grep local-mail *
martin@merkaba:~/.config/akonadi#1> grep Mail *    
martin@merkaba:~/.config/akonadi#1>

martin@merkaba:~/.config/akonadi#1> grep contacts *
Übereinstimmungen in Binärdatei agent_config_akonadi_nepomuk_feeder_changes.dat.
agentsrc:akonadi_contacts_resource\InstanceCounter=3
agentsrc:akonadi_contacts_resource_0\AgentType=akonadi_contacts_resource

They might be saved in the database or hard-coded (for detaults) then?

Some akonadictl whereismydata command would come in handy for script
based backups. Or even a akonadictl backup command.

There might even be something like that in KDE SC 4.9? Or read of a import
wizard. I am not sure about the backup part, but I think there was some
backup tool for kmail as well. Yes, there is¹.
