What is the best way to backup all emails including local folders?

Thunderbird Oars

I'm not sure how Thunderbird stores the email messages or where they are on the hard drive. I use Norton 360 to backup my hard drive, but I'm not sure if it gets the Thunderbird emails or just files from my old Windows Live Mail.

I also have several local Thunderbird folders I would like to backup.

Backup the entire Thunderbird profile. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profiles-tb#w_backing-up-a-profile

Does TBird profile local store directory also contain all local folders, or can I have separate local folders in different local directories? I use separate encrypted "drives" to house confidential client email files, thus need 1 separate email local store file per client. Is this possible in TBird?
