Weird and frustrating. Hundreds of books gone missing. There are folders with the book title that contain a metadata file but no book. And then there are folders which do contain books, but I cannot access them through Calibre. I have to use Explorer to find them (we are talking over 2,000 books). Without going through everything book by book, it is hard to even know what is missing.
Synching on a Active Calibre Library folder is asking for issues.

(Backup) Synch AFTER Calibe shuts down. Things happen in Calibre in transactions, not all at once. Folder get created/deleted, file added/deleted, DB records get updated.
