how to back up all calendar events from thunderbird ?

hello experts,
i'm a thunderbird calendar user,
my calendar runs lightning in order to synchronized my events with my phone through a google account domain.

today i wanted to back up my thunderbird settings and calendar as i spend very much time tuning it up.
i found out that i should backup my profile which stands at : "C:/Document User/MySelf/Application Data/thunderbird/Profiles/.
after query windows of the size of my profile - 1GB - i decided not to back up every thing but only my calendar.
In the profile folder i found out "calendar-data" which has two sqlite db, but when i open them they are empty.

were else can my calendar data stand ?
what would be a good way to back up my thunderbird settings without all emails that are obviously to bulky ? in order to be able to change machine and process by just paste folders in the right tree location
btw, what are minidumps that also stand in my folder profile ?

thank you in advance for your help.

In a normal setup the Calendar data is stored with your google mail account, not in thunderbird. Thunderbird just displays it. It isn't really necessary to back this up yourself, google does that. If you create this account with thunderbird on another PC you will automatically be able to see your calendar.

If you are also using google mail the same applies for that mail.
