Before you go making bulk changes to book files back up your library.
This is computer common sense 101 but very few people actually practice it.
That is why Apple came up with Time Machine to make frequent backups transparent.
Get an extra hard drive, get some backup software, and USE it.
Remember keystrokes have consequences.

Excellent advice. I use Carbonite for my offsite backup. It does almost immediate backup whenever a file is changed or add, holds deleted files for about a week before deleting, including versioning of current files, and does all that without me having to even think about it (the one exception being the program installation files I hang onto in case I have to reinstall a program; I have to tell Carbonite to do that since they are not considered data). I keep local backups on an external harddrive but I'm lax about keeping it up to date because of the hassle of digging it out, plugging everything in, etc.
