I don't think I got the essential point.

I don't want to use the Personal Contacts, because there are no pictures  
and some contacts seems to  be lost. I also have no need for folders like  
Family, Friend, Business, or whatever because there is a full-text search.  
So I think its a good idea to delete the Personal Contacts to avoid  
misunderstandings. Am I right or did I overlook a detail?

That's sounds like the data was stored in  
~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/ibdata1 and  
~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/akonadi/collectionable.idb as I asumed? So  
a backup of ~/ is enough for a efficient backup? Also for my Calender  
which is stored in /~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/std.ics?

I have several Akonadi programs installed but non of them is called  
"console" and non of them offers me a backup and restore function as  
written here:  
http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi_and_AddressBook#Organising_Backups

But that doesn't matter if...

...my backup of ~/ is sufficient?
