Sorry for the newbie question, but I'd like to copy my Calibre library to an external hard drive but I don't know where the file/folder is or what it's called. When I look at the file directory on my computer, I see a Calibre2 folder among the programs but I don't see anything in the folder that indicates it's the library.

I'm probably looking in the wrong place, so could someone please tell me where the Calibre library file is located and what it's called? From what I've read on the Forum, I assume to properly copy the library to an external drive I would also need to copy the data file?

Thanks in advance for any help.
