I don't know. But in the named thread from December last year a
developer made clear that deleting the akonadi DB is a really bad idea.
If this DB stores cached data only this should not be any problem. So it
is my guess that there are config data stored in the DB as well.

OK, thanks for the explanation. Where are the cache files located? Can I
exclude them from backup/sync?
