I will be adding this shortly.
For now you can do it manually. It's dead simple to do because Bvckup keeps all its configuration on a disk, in text files.
The primary config directory is %LocalAppData%\Bvckup2. From there backup the following files and folders -
%LocalAppData%\Bvckup2\bvckup2.ini
%LocalAppData%\Bvckup2\engine\bvckup2.lic
%LocalAppData%\Bvckup2\engine\bvckup2-engine.ini
%LocalAppData%\Bvckup2\engine\backup-00xx\settings.ini -- for all "00xx"
%LocalAppData%\Bvckup2\ui\bvckup2-ui.ini
Edit
In all recent versions of the program complete configuration may be saved in a single .zip file using Menu > Help > "Export configuration".
See
https://bvckup2.com/wip/03062015 for details.

How can I find the %LocalAppData%\Bvckup2 ? I am a dummy...

1. Press Windows-E - this opens Windows Explorer
2. Press Alt-D - this gives focus to the path entry field at the top
3. Type %LocalAppData%\Bvckup2 there, press Enter
%LocalAppData% is a shorthand notation for
C:\Users\<your-username>\AppData\Local
All that said, you can export your backup configuration via Menu > Help > "Export configuration" option. This will give you a ZIP file and included in it there'll be a short HowTo file describing how to restore the configuration.
