@CG: All metadata is stored in the calibre library folder. Simply copy that folder and all its contents and you will be good to go. The backup metadata option in calibre is an in library backup of the metadata database, it is irrelevant to most users. When you want to backup your calibre library, simply copy the calibre library folder elsewhere using windows explorer.
When you have a portable install, the books have to be in the program folder, that makes it self contained.
