I have all my books nicely sorted out in a Calibre folder.
So want to know please how to backup and restore them should I need to.
I have backed up the ebooks on an external drive. But how would I re import them into Calibre if I had computer problems?

I have read this thread but don't understand it

Can you post a simple way of doing it please?

I had hoped it would work on the same principle as Windows Media Player and I could just add the ebook folder back and the books would be found in Calibre.
