I believe it is just comparable to a streamlined way to
  1. backup the library
  2. wipe and create a new library in the current location
  3. add the info save in the file metadata_db_prefs_backup.json
  4. add all books from the backup, using the Add Books option #2
  5. delete backup

In a virtual way of course.

So id #'s should be totally ignored, as the whole library really is being rebuilt from scratch.

EDIT: I'm wrong, shows what I get for assuming things.
