Backup Watched Folders

I know how to export all rules as a backup. I am not sure how to save the folders that are being watched. I had to reinstall my OS recently. Importing the rules was no big deal, but I expected the rules to be associated with the watched folders. Luckily I did not have to many folders to add back to Hazel, but I was hoping for a more elegant solution. How would I go about doing this more efficiently?

Personally, I'd just use Time Machine and make sure you back up everything. But if you want details, here are the files you need to backup/restore:

- In your Library/Application Support folder, the Hazel folder
- In your Library/Preferences folder, the files starting with com.noodlesoft.

Note that the list of folders is stored in the preferences.
