Thunderbird: How to transfer CalDAV/CardDAV Connections from one Machine to another?

On my main machine I am running Thunderbird with Lightning and have several CalDAV calendars connected. Furthermore there is also a CardDAV address book hooked up.
How can I transfer those CalDAV and CardDAV connections to a further machine?
To get the mentioned connections available on a second machine I have the following options:
- Create all connections completely from scratch (-> annoying)
- Copy the whole directory
~/.thunderbirdto the new machine (-> impractical, because mail profiles would be copied as well) - Copy only necessary files for calendars and the address book to the new machine (-> desired)
I want to avoid setting it up by hand. So: Which files do I have to copy from ~/.thunderbird?
My guess is something like:
- File
storage.db
- File
prefs.js(only the lines with "calendar") - Directory
calendar-data
But where is the connection for CardDAV stored?
