What Sage files should I back up before wiping HDD?

My trusty old PVR has found itself in a continuous reboot state - I can't even boot into Safe Mode. I'm going to pull the HDD out and see if I can repair the registry or the windows insallation. Before I do this, I want to back up all the Sage files that contain all my settings, history etc.
Hardware is in my sig below. I'm also running Comskip and ShowAnalyzer, if that's important. Mostly I just want to make sure a re-installation of Sage will keep all my setup options, and list of favourites.
Thanks.

There is some info about that here, even though it is based on backing up the entire installation before installing an update.

At a minimum, wiz.bin & the properties files need to be saved, but there are other files for customizations, channel logos, etc.

If the re-sintall happens on a new PC, I recommend dumping sage.properties & its autobackup and reconfiguring everything. Wiz.bin is the database that you need.
