Well, since akonadi's database is stored in ~/.local, if you backup
the whole home dir, akonadi's db should be backed up too. The only
problem is that the database is huge; it's at least 100MB (!!!) when
it's created for the first time and keeps growing.... (On my
university's lab the admins have disabled akonadi just because of
that, to save space)
