Somewhat baffled by all this ... you're missing Tools | Backup and Tools | Restore which do all this for you (they back up all the accounts' properties and so on into one file which can easily be hived off to CD-R in case of disaster). Unfortunately the "test account" problem is still present - you have to create a dummy account before you get to the menus and can do the restore. I've put a feature request in to fix this (which is trivially easy!), though.
