Not necessarily, but that is a debate for another day. My only complaint in this is if the id was not included a new library could be created that would move the files to where they need to be for Calibre. I thought I was saving all the necessary files to restore the library but I did not realize I needed backups of those files also since I never go to that directory (see I normally do not mess with the files
). But now that I know the opf will retain the info I need, all is good because those are saved on two different drives.

Yes I have a copy of most of them, the only ones I do not have are books I've added in the last week or so. I am in the process of finding the files that the batch download process was not able to find covers for and importing them into the db. I'll catch them all eventually.

Thanks for the info, I will look into this to see if it is something I would want to try. I am sure I will be back with questions regarding this if I decide to use it.
