Actually, save-to-disk without asciiizing is adequate to one of my purposes -- just not the library backup purpose.
What I did not realize is that selecting every title in the library and saving it all to disk will duplicate the folder structure of the calibre library, but *with* any accented characters in names and titles as they appear in calibre metadata. The output won't *be* a calibre library with metadata json file, but it will serve as vehicle for getting books onto a tablet via cloud data storage alone. (Until more apps are able to use calibre metadata, as Calibre Cloud on Android does.)
Furthermore, for the save-to-disk operation I can select only the ebook format I'm going to use on a given tablet -- useful, because I usually have both epub and mobi.
