Thanks for any advice you can provide!

That feature just make sure that the metadat.opf in each folder is current (it should be normally). It does NOT modify the metadata in the book.
If you had restored the
ENTIRE library folder, you would see no differences.
If you used any variation of
Add Books, you have the possibility of seeing the Books (old) metadata
