Ok, will try.

Is the disk drive on which you have the library formatted for NTFS - I'm not sure why, but the thought of a 112GB library on a FAT formatted disk is a bit...
Both drives are NTFS. In fact all my harddisc are NTFS.

P.S.
Just a thought - would it be of use to rename or move the db and copy the backup-ed db into the folder instead?
And somehow remove the files in the library that were added after the backup and therefor not in this backup version of the db?

I have asked different people if Calibre has a limit it can handle but everybody said no.
But either it has or there was a problem with the db or disc .. hm.
