Hello,

I recently had to re-format my computer and thus re-load Calibre. Before I did this I made sure to back up my metadata under Lib Maintenance - lib metadata backup. When I added all my books into a fresh version of Calibre after the re-format I found that the altered metadata had not saved and I have had to go through all the books again to edit all the metadata (series, correct authors names and titles) again. I would like to know how one can save the new metadata so that this is not an issue should I have need to un-install/re-install Calibre in the future...

Thanks for any advice you can provide!
