I'm curious though did you have the options (Preferences - Saving books to disk) of Save cover separately and Save metadata in OPF file checked?

Sending to disk isn't designed as a backup solution. The metadata is stored in the metadata.db file.

To effectively backup your entire library, copy the library folder and all contents and the configuration folder and contents to a backup location. You can do incremental syncs between the two locations (local and backup) nightly to keep your backup current.
