Greetings all,
I had a large library that I systematically tagged and split into three libraries across three commodity cloud servers. On each, the calibre-server command line program runs the web-based content server, so there is no access to the main calibre GUI.

I'm in search of a migration strategy for new content, or existing content that is filed on the wrong remote library. I'd like not to have to keep local copies of the libraries (except for backup, not authoritative ), so I'm choosing to rule out file-syncs. File-sync /might/ work as a middle-man library to aid in the transport between servers, so if there is a command line way to transfer content between two local libraries, that should fit my need.

With that in mind, is there a safe command-line-only way to transfer content between libraries?
The covers I don't care about (generated is fine), but my meta-data I'd like to keep.
All machines use Ubuntu Linux.

Thanks!
