Same locations as before.

Just to make sure: is this the only calendar resource you've configured or 
would you have assumed that the data is handled by another one?

If the goal is to shared just the data, then copying the data files should be 
enough.
Copying the database should only be necessary if Akonadi specific metadata 
needs to be shared as well. Not sure if this is currently supported though.

AFAIK all configs should still in the old school INI-style format.
The one for the Akonadi server is for certain, the use of QSettings INI 
backend is enforced by the code. The configs of the resources might depend on 
what backend is selected for KConfig, though it is most likely the default 
INI-file backend as well.
