FCP Attic is an app that lets you back up your prefs and your custom settings … might be useful to you.

“FCP Rescue” a free Apple Script that will Trash the Preferences for you (and restore nearly all of your user settings afterward).
There are versions for FCP (Pro) & FCE (Express).

those rescue apps are great,
but it’s a bit annoying that custom settings dont seem to be saved anywhere but the prefs.
however…
if you create an EASY SETUP using your custom settings… then that gets saved as a file.

MacHD / Library / Application Support / Final Cut Pro System Support / Custom Settings.

the benefit of having the easy set up backed up over just your prefs is that they are more transportable.
moving your prefs to another system i have found to be problematic.
