- The book folders usually contain a cover image, a metadata.opf file, and one or more 'format' files, the format files are the ebook files themselves - eg .epub, .mobo, ,pdf etc.
And there is a file named metadata.db, this is the database I previously mentioned as being the heart and soul of calibre.
And there maybe a file called metadata_db_prefs_backup.json. Together with the metadata.opf files in book folders this provides the means via which the database can be rebuilt if something goes wrong - which is a very rare event.[/INDENT]

I use Carbonite to backup my data, but I still want to put the right files on an external drive. Are you saying I have to find the metadata files and back them up separately?
