I would like to synchronize from 1 to 2, is it no the automatic procedure available?
manually i should synchronize - i think 2 options - option A by steps - 1) remember which book was changed in the collection No1 2) delete "old" books from collection No2 3) add modifyed books from No1 to No2 OR option B delete collection No2 and copy collection No1 computer 1 (complete folder and sub-folders) to computer 2
Do I understand this correctly?

You need to replace the metadata.db file in 2 with the metadata.db file from 1, then make sure that all the new/modified files from 1, if any, are put into 2. That's the minimum. It's preferable to also delete any leftover old files in 2 that weren't overwritten by modified versions. I use syncing software to sync from 1 to 2. It automatically identifies metadata.db as one of the new files to replace the old metadata.db. No. 2 is my backup, but it's perfectly usable as a copy of 1. There are lots of available syncing software solutions.
