What is the best way to backup my ebooks + metadata? I have a USB stick I'd like to use. My first thought was to copy & paste my entire Calibre library folder onto the drive. Would that be best, or is there a better, more savvy way to do this?

How do I keep it updated after adding more ebooks?

I also don't quite understand the "Start backing up metadata of all books" option under Library Maintenance. It doesn't ask me for a folder...
