Thanks for asking.
So how to delete all of the RB configuration, but backup and to restore afterward all of the custom actions, custom behaviours, individual key assignments in the global behaviour, and so on?
Please see this FAQ entry for the location of the preferences files:

Although I don't think that your settings play a role here (see below).
I ask this after experiencing a very persistent problem that won't go away:
When Launching a global action (overlay), the Applescript launches an application. RB then returns to the "previous behaviour". However this return-to behaviour is always stuck as "Spotify" (once Spotify has been activated at least once before since the start of the RB session. However the dsired behaviour is to return to the previous (last active) RB behaviour. Which happens only if Spotify has never been activated during the session.
In a nutshell, this is what Remote Buddy does to determine which application to control / which Behaviour to pick:
1) Check the currently active (in terms of "input focus") application: if there's a behavior for it, it gets picked. If not, it proceeds with 2).
2) Check which applications are running in the background: if there's a behavior that supports background control of a running application, it gets picked. If not, it proceeds with 3)
3) Switch to the Default Behaviour.
The Spotify Behaviour supports background control. It will therefore be picked automatically when:
1) there's no behavior for the currently active application
2) Spotify is running

Thank you Felix. Theres a follow-on question about behaviour
priorities. Its a seperate thread.
