You need to find that db-file! If it is missing it might mean that the library isn't complete. Files missing...

However, if there are updated OPF-files along with the books, then the information is there as well. The OPF-files are a backup of the metadata that is stored in the database. So you could try to add the books to a new library, from the old. Make sure the new library has the same fields as your old library had.

You could try with one author, and see how it goes?

You would want to check in settings that metadata is read from the contents of the files, and not from the filenames.
