Send To will never copy the metadata.DB, it can send metadata.OPF and cover.jpg
Turn down the Music and Listen.
Copy the FOLDER (
include all sub-folders) that contains metadata.db
That is the only way to back-up a working library for a
quick restore (no rebuild needed).
Do NOT try an
incremental backup. The DB is in synch with the files and folders. They must track exactly.
Do it almost any other way, and you will have to use the slooow, recovery procedures
